Dr. Duchesne was delighted, and divided with admiration between his patient's progress and the millionaire's sagacity.
It was evident that the millionaire's business had reached such vast proportions that its details were as intricate and absorbing as the government of an empire and that he had found it necessary to protect his person with a network of red tape. He determined to break through this ceremonial nonsense, see Bivens face to face, and settle the affair at once.
