"Good-night, Percy," said Natica. And gently as she spoke the words, it came to me with a sudden rush of conviction that I had ceased fagging for the Drayton establishment for good-now.

"Yes, it was coming to you," said I.
I was glad that they perceived the conviction in my speech.
And that is how I had my last supper with Natica.
