"Patience! Patience! I shall tell you when the time comes. But, by the way, major--Dido?" Of course, busybodies, who saw their well-meant but meddlesome advice thus rejected, were by no means pleased, and some even went so far as to say that the shock of death and disappearance had unsettled Jen's reason.
