CHAPTER I.
THE MEET OF THE COACHING CLUB.
'Be patient, Trevor Chute; they are sure to be here to-day, old fellow, for Ida told me so.'
'Ida?'
'Yes, Mrs. Beverley; does that surprise you?' asked the other, with a singular smile—one that was rather sardonic.
'No, Jerry, I have long ceased to be surprised at anything. As I have told you, my special mission in town is a visit to her; but—so you and she are good friends still?'
'Yes, though she has been six months a widow, we are on the same strange terms in which you left us last—friends pure and simple.'
