[Gutenberg 59536] • Captain Lucy and Lieutenant Bob

"The Major's glasses, if you please, Miss Lucy," said Sergeant Cameron,

pausing in the doorway with a bow. Lucy, who had run down-stairs on

hearing the bell, smiled a good-morning to the tall, soldierly figure

that blocked the sunlit entrance, and went into Major Gordon's study

for the forgotten glasses.

"I was to tell Mrs. Gordon for the Major," Sergeant Cameron added when

Lucy returned to the door, "that the guests expected to-day will come

over on the twelve o'clock boat. The Major had a telephone message at

his office, from the city."

"Oh, all right, Sergeant. I'll tell Mother," said Lucy, whereupon the

non-commissioned officer turned smartly on his heel and made off in the

direction of the Headquarters Building.
