"Is that so? Had your breakfast?" "Yes," said Hurstwood, lying blandly. "I'm just going for a shave." "Won't you come have a drink?" "Not until afterwards," said the ex-manager. "I'll see you later. Are you stopping here?" "Yes," said Mr. Kenny, and then, turning the word again added: "How are things out in Chicago?" "About the same as usual," said Hurstwood, smiling genially. "Wife with you?"
He has a pretty house now at Sittingbourne, and amuses himself during his leisure hours with amateur horticulture, and I, who alone in London besides the persons directly connected with this mysterious affair, know the true solution of the enigma, often wonder how much of it is known to the ex-manager of the English Provident Bank." The man in the corner had been silent for some time.

A few mornings after our hearing the history of the ex-manager, he bounced into my room before I was out of bed. "Give me joy! give me joy!" said he, rubbing his hands with the utmost glee, "my great expectations are realized!" I stared at him with a look of wonder and inquiry.
