Seventh Dispatch - [voice]/[action]

[Horatio Hornblower's voice is very calm, very quiet. It sounds... not even curious. He is almost stating a fact, rather than asking a question.]

Lieutenant Bush's things are gone.

Why? What is the meaning of this?

[His housemates... will find him in his own room now, seated at his desk, the journal lying open in front of him-- if they dare disturb.]

[She may not know you very well Horatio, but she knows your type very well. In fact, she's good friends with one.]

[Mister Hornblower, you are not believed for an instant. You strong, silent types are all the same. Consider yourself lucky that she isn't going to pry. Your withering look from the other day is remembered with crystal clarity.]

Well, that's one of putting it.
