She wears large emerald drop earrings, black satin skirt, and a heliotrope bodice of which she appears to be somewhat vain. She is coughing terribly.
It would be deplorable if now that we have got so near the end of the Compact, we should be held up by some idiotic blunder some nonsensical love affair of his. I wonder whether it's Rosenberg or some other girl. Will you find out?" "How can I?" Curtis growled. "I'm not his keeper." "I know that!" Hamar said. "Come be reasonable.
"All right," Curtis said sulkily, "for the good of the cause I suppose I must, but I hate spying." Two nights later in a private room at the Piccadilly, after dinner, when the champagne and liqueurs had got into Curtis's head and he was leaning back in his chair, smiling and silly, Hamar suddenly said, "Ed! you remember what I told you about watching Kelson. Have you discovered anything?"

There was a loud crackling and a shower of sparks, of the same lurid red colour as the reflection in the mirror on the previous night, flew out into the enveloping darkness. "That will do!" Hamar observed quietly. "Test two is satisfactorily accomplished. We must be riper for Hell than we imagined. There is no need for you fellows to stay any longer. I can manage the third test alone."
Gladys, having given up going to the theatre in order to be with her father during these attacks, now declared that she could no longer bear to see him in such excruciating pain, whilst it was in her power to prevent it. "Tell him," she said, "tell Hamar you'll accept his conditions. Don't think of me! I would rather do anything than see you suffer like this."
