"I'm following O'Hara's lead and leaving England," and he looked hard into her face.
"Leaving England!" she repeated, with frank dismay--indeed, far too frank for Ted, who was sufficiently wise in these matters to know that such a complete absence of self-consciousness left but little room for him to hope in.
"Yes," dropping his eyes gloomily to the carpet. "At once."

Ted drew his own conclusions, but all he said, was:
"O'Hara will get his chance now--lucky beggar," and then suddenly relapsed into thought, as it dawned upon him it might in the end mean his own chance, too.
