I shall be seeing you soon. Everything's settled about the expedition. We're to sail the first week in September, so as to get the summer months in the Antarctic. But before that I must go over to the island to say good-bye to the old folks, and I'll see you at your father's I suppose.

That's quite true, and if Mr. Conrad will do me the honour to accept my hospitality for a few days. . . .
