“I shall be delighted, I am sure. She is awfully kind to give you up to me.”
“I am very glad she has, Cyril.”
“We will take care of each other if we are seasick.”
During the day Ben led up his new friend to Mrs. Harcourt.
“Mother,” he said, “let me introduce my roommate, Cyril Bentley.”
“My dear Edwin, you forget his title.”
“At my request, Mrs. Harcourt. I am ever so much obliged to you for letting Edwin sit by me.”
“I am delighted, my lord——”
“No, don’t call me that.”
“Shall I call you Cyril, too?” smiled the delighted Mrs. Harcourt.
