Excerpt: ...anywhere long. But I've left school now, and I'm going to do as I like." "A very wise resolution!" commented a laughing voice behind her. "It's one of the guiding principles of my life." All the party turned, Toby with a quick exclamation muffled at birth. Saltash, attired in a white yachting suit and looking more than usually distinguished in his own fantastic fashion, stood with his hand on the back of Toby's chair.

But please don't ask me to be your sponsor! I really couldn't play the part." "Ask me!" said Toby suddenly, with flushed face up-raised. "He saved my life when The Night Moth went down, when most men would only have bothered to save their own." "What a libel!" laughed Saltash.
