CHAPTER XXIV 

Captain Richard Beverley, on his way through the hotel smoking room to the Savoy bar, stopped short. He looked at the girl who had half risen from her seat on the couch with a sudden impulse of half startled recognition. Her little smile of welcome was entirely convincing. 

"Why, it's Nora Sharey!" he exclaimed. "Nora!" 

"Well, I am glad you've recognised me at last," she said, laughing. "I tried to make you see me last night in the restaurant, but you wouldn't look." 

He seemed a little dazed, even after he had saluted mechanically, held her hand for a moment and sank into the place by her side. 

"Nora Sharey!" he repeated. "Why, it was really you, then, dining last night with that fellow Crawshay?" 

"Of course it was," she replied, "and I recognised you at once, even in your uniform." 

"You know that Jocelyn Thew is here? You saw him with us last night?" 

"Yes, I know." 

"Stop a moment," Richard Beverley went on. "Let me think, Nora. Jocelyn Thew must have seen you dining with Crawshay. How does that work out?" 

"He doesn't mind," she replied. "Let that stuff alone for a time. I want to look at you. You're fine, Dick, but what does it all mean?" 

"I couldn't stick the ranch after the war broke out," he confessed. "I moved up into Canada and took on flying." 

"You are fighting out there in France?" 

"Have been for six months. Some sport, I can tell you, Nora. I've got a little machine gun that's a perfect daisy. Gee! I've got to pull up. The hardest work we fellows have sometimes is to remember that we mustn't talk about our job. They used to call me undisciplined. I'm getting it into my bones now, though.--Why, Nora, this is queer! I guess we're going to have a cocktail together, aren't we?"

KAPITEL XXIV Kapten Richard Beverley, på väg genom hotellets rökrum till Savoybaren, stannade kort. Han såg på flickan, som hade till hälften stigit upp från sin plats på soffan med en plötslig impuls av halvt skrämt igenkännande. Hennes lilla leende av välkomnande var helt övertygande. "Det är Nora Sharey!" utropade han. "Nora!" »Nå, jag är glad att du äntligen har känt igen mig», sade hon och skrattade. "Jag försökte få dig att se mig igår kväll på restaurangen, men du ville inte titta." Han tycktes en smula omtumlad, även sedan han hade gjort honnör mekaniskt, höll hennes hand ett ögonblick och sjönk ned på platsen vid hennes sida. "Nora Sharey!" upprepade han. "Varför, det var verkligen du, då, middag igår kväll med den där Crawshay?" »Naturligtvis var det det», svarade hon, »och jag kände igen er på en gång, även i er uniform.» "Vet du att Jocelyn Thew är här? Du såg honom hos oss i går kväll?» »Ja, jag vet.» "Stoppa ett ögonblick", fortsatte Richard Beverley. "Låt mig tänka, Nora. Jocelyn Thew måste ha sett dig äta med Crawshay. Hur fungerar det?" »Han har inget emot det», svarade hon. "Låt det vara ett tag. Jag vill se på dig. Du mår bra, Dick, men vad betyder allt?» "Jag kunde inte hålla ranchen efter kriget bröt ut", erkände han. "Jag flyttade upp till Kanada och började flyga." "Ni slåss där ute i Frankrike?" "Det har varit i sex månader. Vilken sport, Nora. Jag har en liten kulspruta som är perfekt. Jösses! Jag måste dra mig upp. Det svåraste jobbet vi har ibland är att komma ihåg att vi inte får prata om vårt jobb. De brukade kalla mig odisciplinerad. Jag får det i mina ben nu, men... Varför, Nora, det här är bögigt! Jag antar att vi ska ta en cocktail tillsammans, eller hur?" Skriv en lista med frågor på grundval av artikeln och följande svar. 1. Frankrike 2. Richard Beverley 3.

You saw him in our house last night?" "Yes, I know." "Stop a moment," continued Richard Beverley. "Let me think, Nora. Jocelyn Thew must have seen you eat with Crawshay. How does it work?" "He doesn't mind," she replied. "Let it be a while. I want to look at you. You're fine, Dick, but what does everything mean?" "I couldn't hold the ranch after the war broke out," he admitted. "I moved up to Canada and started flying." "You fight out there in France?" "It's been for six months. What a sport, Nora. I have a little machine gun that's perfect. Oh, my God! I have to pull up.
