On the appointed day a band of friends travelled down to Tilbury to take leave of Douglas Shafto. These included Mrs. Malone, Mr. Hutton, the two Japanese gentlemen, and several of his fellow clerks.
"It would be interesting to know " Sacconi began; but several voices interrupted him. "Speak up; we can't hear!" "I should think not, with such an infernal row in the street," said Galli, irritably. "Is that window shut, Riccardo? One can't hear one's self speak!" Gemma looked round. "Yes," she said, "the window is quite shut. I think there is a variety show, or some such thing, passing."
