"So long, then," said Frank again. "Come along, Jack; we must make haste."
"Good-evening, sir," cried the Major, but Jack made no answer.
"Frank, you don't mean to tell me that those are the people?"
"That's the Major and Gertie—yes."
"And what was all that about this evening?"
"I must go, Jack. I'm sorry; but I told you it couldn't be more than a few days at the outside."
