She had turned to David, ‘Keep to your own outfit, David please; undoubtedly it is an old friend! And anyway you would alarm me in tails or clerical skirt even more than you do already’

So David, on his wedding morning, looked quite simply, what he really was, the young enthusiast, to whom outward appearance meant little or nothing, just ready to start on his journey to Central Africa. His friend the doctor, with whom David had spent his last night in England, might, with his frock-coat, lavender tie and buttonhole, easily have been mistaken for the bridegroom as the two stood together in the chancel. ‘Years ago, Sir Deryck had said, ‘I did the same thing. It is the best thing a man can do. I’ll come to the wedding and see you safely through, although, if it is at half-past ten I shall have to be off straight afterwards. You are marrying a splendid girl. I only wish she were going with you. Yet, I must admit you are doing the right thing in refusing to let her face the dangers and hardships of such a life and travel. Only David, if you want any married life at all, you must be back within the year. With this unexpected attraction drawing you back to England you will hardly keep to your former resolution and remain longer in that deadly climate.’
