"You wished to see father. I am sure he will be pleased. I am just going home."
"And may I walk back with you?"
"Certainly, if you care to."
"I was not going to see your father, Miss Castlemaine."
"No?"
"No, I was going to see you. Do you know I have been playing golf since I came to England?"
"Yes, I heard that you performed wonders on our links. As you will remember, I saw you there."
"And I have heard that you are great at the game. I have had the audacity to wonder if you would play with me to-morrow morning. I can assure you it would be an act of charity towards a lonely man if you would."
"I am afraid, from what I have heard of your prowess, I should scarcely be able to give you a game, but if you will condescend so far I will do my best."
"Thank you, you are very kind. Indeed, every one is kind to me. I have been away to London for only a few days, and yet Mr. Sprague met me as though I were an old friend. It is pleasant to have a welcome in a strange land."
