When did you arrive from the front ?" "I came down a few days ago on a week's leave on urgent family business," the young man laughed, "and I am going back again this afternoon by the four o'clock train." "Stay till ten," Vincent said, "and we will go back together.

There is a special train going through with ammunition, and as everything will make way for that it will not be long behind the four o'clock, and likely enough may pass it on the way.

There is a horse-box attached to it, and as I only take one horse there will be room for yours." "I haven't brought my horse down," Harry Furniss said; "but I will certainly go with you by the ten o'clock.

Then we can have a long talk.
I don't think I have seen you since the day you asked me to lend you my boat, two years ago." "Can you spare me two hours now ?" Vincent asked.

"You will do me a very great favor if you will." Harry Furniss looked at his watch.
