"I shall want you here; but our understanding must be complete before I leave."
"Trust me for that," said Mark.
"I do."
"You want me to look after Mr. Redmayne?"
"No; I look after him. He's my first care. I haven't broke it to him yet; but he's going with me."
Brendon considered and his thought flushed his cheek.
