"Yes, if one likes salt water. How came you over here?"
"Came in the Cephalonia."
"When?"
"Two weeks ago."
"You look very well. Did the mud baths cure you?"
"I suppose so; anyway, something cured me. I'm as fit as a man need be."
"Why don't you say 'as right as a trivet?'"
"Didn't think of a trivet. Isn't it jolly to see you, though?"
"Thank you."
The two gave one full glance at each other, then Prudence laughed.
