“So do all you can for my friend. He wants breakfast or lunch at once. He’s faint and hungry.”
“Oh, I’ll get something ready directly, sir.”
“And you will be silent and discreet, Berry.”
“You may trust me, sir; and I’ll do my best to make your friend comfortable. Will he sleep here to-night?”
“If he wishes, Berry.”
“Certainly, sir;” and the housekeeper hurried away.
“That’s right,” said Drew quietly. “I don’t think any one saw me come. Now you be off, and don’t fail to send Lady Gowan to comfort your poor father in his distress.”
They parted directly after, and Frank hurried back, and went straight to his mother’s apartments.
