"Certainly! Where is he?"
"At Sister Eila's school. Is there anything left to harness up and send for him?"
"Yes; there is a donkey and a basket wagon. I'll have a groom take it over at once. Is the officer badly hurt?"
"I don't know. I think he merely needs bandaging and feeding. He's the comrade of my friend, Captain Halkett. Gray is his name, and he's a captain or something or other. May I tell him that you will receive him?"
"Of course, Jim. You need not have asked; you could have brought him here immediately."

Warner smiled and turned to Sister Eila:
"Madame de Moidrey takes him!"
"I am so thankful! I will go up and make him ready."
