“God preserve you, Frank! I would give all I have in the world to be with you. Good-by! Good-by!”
Frank waved his hand—dashed away the tears that were gathering in his eyes—and hurried out. Crayford called after him, the last, the only warning that he could give:
“While you can stand, keep with the main body, Frank!”
Wardour, waiting till the last—Wardour, following Frank through the snow-drift—stopped, stepped back, and answered Crayford at the door:
“While he can stand, he keeps with Me.”
