"I don't know exactly," he answered slowly. "Within the next week or ten days surely."
"You will be very much missed," said Churchill heartily; "yet I suppose it has been slow work for you."
Farr looked contemplatively down at the lighted end of his cigar.
"No. I shall be sorry to go."
After a slight pause he added:
"What has been going on?"
"Nothing much. Andrews has gone up to town. Miss Stuart is still at the manor; but, of course, that is no news to you."
"I imagined she had not left," returned Farr indifferently. "I am going to call there this afternoon."
"Suppose, then, you meet me here; say in a couple of hours," suggested Churchill, as he brought the dingey up to the float, "and go out and dine with me aboard the Sylph. I am by myself, for Andrews is away, and Archer is engaged."
"Thanks. I will be delighted."
