You mean I have rather more than my share of what most people long for? Still, you ought to know that nobody is ever quite content, and that what one has only sets one wishing for more.

One would certainly fancy that you had quite enough already--but I wonder if one might ask you if you have heard from Reggie lately?
human
You, at least, might. He does not write often--naturally--though I always had a fancy that Reggie mightn't, after all, have been so very much to blame as most people seem to think. Anyway, we had a letter a few weeks ago, and he had got his commission in the Canadian mounted police. He ought to be thankful--in the circumstances.

It is rather a coincidence that my father, who went up to London a week ago, came back with the expectation of obtaining a Government post in Western Canada, a Crown Commissioner on the new gold-fields I think. He was in charge of a mining district in Western Africa, you know. I should probably go to Canada with him.

Then one would sincerely hope that Major Coulthurst will get a post at home.
