A knock came to the door and the nurse entered.
"How is the patient, Miss Lethbridge?" she asked.
"I feel wonderful," I replied; "far stronger than I was when you were here last, nurse."
"Yes, you are all right," said the nurse smilingly. "Miss Lethbridge came directly you fell asleep, and insisted on my going to bed. I am sure it was awfully good of her to relieve me."
"She has proved a good substitute, nurse," I replied; "but you must insist upon her going to bed now if she has been watching all the night."
"Yes, and you look as though you need washing and your hair brushed," laughed the nurse. "You must not get on too fast, you know."
"I shall be quite well enough to receive visitors soon," was my reply.
"Visitors!" laughed the nurse; "you will be inundated with them as soon as you are strong enough. A man has come all the way from London to see you; he wants to interview you for one of the London newspapers. You see, having succeeded in exposing that German plot, and causing the arrest of a lot of dangerous people, you have been the talk of the country."
"I was successful, then?" I said.
"Successful! Oh, of course you don't know; but you will hear all about it later, as soon as you are stronger."
