Her head went down to hide against his arm. This letter was unsigned. It was manifestly a rough draft of the posted letter which had been amplified before it was sent. Captain Acton's hand dropped with it on to his knee. He exclaimed: "Listen!" he said harshly. "You know me and you know I don't often give a man like you more than a second chance.
