It was the family Bible. She had placed it there after reading her son Anson his evening chapter. Slowly she mastered herself and sank back into her chair. "Well, we may go with you some day, sir," said Captain Acton good-humouredly, "but peace must be declared before I embark. We are keeping Miss Acton waiting." "Billy with a girl!" cried Landon in wonder. "I don't know, sir. I'll ascertain, sir," and the man disappeared..
