Gone, had she? Without a word.... How dare she? Got leave without telling him....
Leave, indeed....
He'd got some leave coming to him.

Done with the girl? He realized that he had not yet begun with her.
CHAPTER XIV
HOME AND THE CHARM
"A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere."
Still-Popular Song.
