When we get there you can stay for two or three days with the Hunters till we have got the things to rights.

There is one thing that you will be pleased about.

Wade is going with us, at any rate for the present; you are a favorite of his, you know, and I think that is the principal reason for his going.

At any rate, when he heard I was in orders, he told the Colonel that, as there was no illness in the regiment, he thought, if he did not object, he would change places for a bit with M'Alaster, the assistant surgeon, who has been with the detachment at Deennugghur for the last year, so as to give him a turn of duty at Cawnpore, and do a little shikaring himself.

There is more jungle and better shooting round Deennugghur than there is here, and you know the Doctor is an enthusiast that way.
