Chapter XXVI
Later on that evening, Norgate walked up and down the platform at Charing-Cross with Anna. Her arm rested upon his; her expression was animated and she talked almost eagerly. Norgate carried himself like a man who has found a new thing in life. He was feeling none of the depression of the last few days. "Dear," Anna begged, "you won't forget, will you, all the time that I am away, that you must never for a single moment relax your caution?
