"That night I made my way into the museum, and I replaced four of the stones. It was hard work, and took me all night.

"Isn't Mr. Justice Borrow sitting in one of the courts this morning?" he suddenly asked. "Number seven," replied the official. "What's your case when's it down?" "I haven't got a case," said Spargo. "I'm a pressman reporter, you know." The official stuck out a finger. "Round the corner first to your right second on the left," he said automatically.
"I meant, sir, the chances that the world might run into a belt of poisonous ether." "I do not now apprehend any such danger," said Challenger. The pressman looked even more perplexed. "You are Professor Challenger, are you not?" he asked. "Yes, sir; that is my name." "I cannot understand, then, how you can say that there is no such danger.
Uncle John said nothing to the girls concerning this correspondence, nor did he mention it to the new pressman.
