He was a remarkably handsome man, dark, aquiline, and moustached evidently the man of whom I had heard.
As for the partners, food was being sent over for them from the hotel: they would be obliged to remain at the bank for some time yet. But there was no need for Neale to stay; he could go when the day's balancing was done. "You heard what instructions this Miss Fosdyke had given the police, I suppose?" asked Gabriel, as Neale was leaving the parlour. "Raising the whole town, no doubt?"
To turn to the left, the left foot is moved forward; to turn to the right the right foot. But it was in the balancing control of their machine that the Wrights showed such great ingenuity.
