"Who else was there when you all used to play together on the sands?"
"Oh, Gracie, and Margaret and George Hempath, and Ralph Harben----"
"Who is Ralph Harben?"
"Son of Mr. Harben, Sir George's partner. They're the big army contractors, you know."
"And where is he now?"
"Up here in London. He's in the Dragoons--lieutenant. So is George."
"Any one else?"
"Mr. Eager and Sir George, and Bob Lethem, their groom. They all used to ride over, you see, and we needed all hands, so we used to press Bob into the service."
"And you don't think there is any entanglement there?"
"What--Kattie and Bob? No, I'm sure there isn't. You see, Kattie got rather large ideas, and she was certainly very pretty. She would never have looked at Bob, I'm certain."
