Then follows a loving greeting from Paul's amanuensis, who, naturally, as the pen is in his own hand, says: 'I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. Then Paul begins again to dictate, and the list runs on.
Tertius who took the first steps towards immediate action. Even as he spoke, Peggie was summoning the butler, and her orders were clear and precise. "Kitteridge," she said quietly, "order Robson to bring the car round at once as quickly as possible. In the meantime, send some coffee into the breakfast-room breakfast itself must wait until we return. Make haste, Kitteridge."
Herapath by sight, then?" "No, sir. I've only just come into this part came for the first time yesterday. But I'm as certain " "Just tell us all about it," said Mr. Tertius, interrupting him. "Tell us in your own way. Everything, you know." "Ain't so much to tell, sir," responded the driver.
Tertius, Barthorpe came to a sudden halt and frowned. "I don't want to discuss matters further, Mr. Tertius," he said coldly. "I thought I had given you a hint already. My cousin and I have private matters to attend to, and I shall be obliged if you'll withdraw.
Tertius stepped across the threshold, and his spectacled eyes twinkled as their glance fell on the bag which the visitor carried so gingerly. "Hullo, Tertius!" exclaimed the big man, in a deep, rich voice. "What have you got there? Specimens?"

Selwood, turning in sheer surprise at this announcement, so pointed and so unmistakable, saw a faint tinge of colour mount to the elder man's usually pale cheeks. Mr. Tertius stopped sharply and looked at Barthorpe in genuine surprise. "You do not wish me to enter to be present?" he faltered. "Frankly, I don't," said Barthorpe, with aggressive plainness.
