CHAPTER IV
“Shall I like India, Captain Bruce?”
“Sure to—all women do. But you’ll jolly well hate Sumnee. It’s the jumping-off place.”
“Shall I?” Mrs. Crespin repeated, turning a little to Crossland.
“Like India, Mrs. Crespin? Most women do, more than like it. Bruce is right there. But I’m not sure about you.”
“Why?”
“You are different,” he said simply.
“Why shall I dislike Sumnee?” she asked them both.
“Good Lord!” Bruce answered.
“My hat!” Crossland said.
