The Captain And the Enemy
The Captain And the Enemy
“I think perhaps a kind of affection for each other had grown a little in both of us during the Captain’s absence. I was beginning to be quite fond of Liza, but it was still with the easily transferable affection of a child, and her affection may well have been an almost automatic response to my own and could have been cut off just as readily.

A Captain he might still be, but a tall bearded sea captain with no stick across his shoulder like a rifle, but a stick carried in his fist like a weapon against pirates. I gaped at him and didn’t move for a moment to let him in, and behind him beside the pavement was a car. A car!
‘Is that yours?’ I asked him.
‘Of course it’s mine,’ he snapped at me. ‘Where’s Liza? Is Liza all right?’ He pushed me aside and went down the stairs two at a time.MoreLess
