"Tom," I answered. "He's a sight in his sailor suit."
She laughed. "Of course; but nothing to what you would be. We're very fond of Tom, aren't we, and of Cecily? What else?"
"The beach and the town and the cliffs and the training station and the new barracks and many vessels at anchor."
"Exasperating!" And she shook me. "Didn't you go into the War College?"
"We did. Your father seems to know many there."
"Adam," said Eve, "aren't you going to tell me?"
She bent forward and looked up into my eyes, and I looked down into hers. I kissed her.
"I will tell you, Eve. Never fear. When you look at me like that, I would tell anything. I tell you everything sooner or later."
"I like it sooner."
