"MOTHER, don't you think Robin must have finished his tea by this time? Shall I go downstairs and see? Do let me. Miss Maggs says she doesn't mind my coming into the kitchen."
Gilbert Groves, a handsome, blue-eyed boy, clad in a sailor suit, turned from the window from which he had been watching the passers-by as he spoke, and looked at his mother with an eagerness of expression which brought a smile to her face. The scene was a pleasant upstairs sitting-room in a lodging-house on the Hoe, facing the sea, where Mrs. Groves and her little son were waiting for Robin, who was having his tea downstairs, Miss Maggs, the landlady of the establishment, having readily consented to his taking that meal in her kitchen.
