THE CHIEF OF THE ENEMIES “Poor boy!” murmured Lupin, when his eyes fell on Gilbert’s letter next morning. “How he must feel it!” On the very first day when he saw him, he had taken a liking to that well-set-up youngster, so careless, gay and fond of life. Gilbert was devoted to him, would have accepted death at a sign from his master. And Lupin also loved his frankness, his good humour, his simplicity, his bright, open face.
