"By jove, I believe you are right. Wait and see, we must not make a
ridiculous mistake."
Jack Redland saw they recognised him, and ran forward, sprang up the
terrace steps, and had Winifred in his arms, almost before she had
recovered from her astonishment. She put her arms round his neck and
kissed him, it seemed natural for her to do so, had she not waited a
long time for him?
"It is you, Jack, dear Jack. You have come back to us. Is it really
true?"
"Yes, it is true, Winnie, and I have looked forward to this day during
all the time I have been away."
Sir Lester stood looking on, his face betraying his happiness.
"When you have quite finished with Jack you might allow him to shake
hands with me," he said, smiling.
