I took up an illustrated paper at a café on the night of my arrival whilst waiting for supper, and saw pictures of two men there who reminded me very much of the two whom I had seen on the railway near Pozen. I think I made some remark out loud which attracted the attention of a woman who was sitting at the next table, and later on I told her the whole story." "And since then?"
"I am afraid," the Duke said, "that when it comes to throwing a million men at different points of your coasts protected by a superb navy you might find yourselves unpleasantly surprised.

Monsieur Grisson rose to his feet. "Monsieur Poynton," he said, "we have all three heard your story as to what you witnessed in the forest of Pozen.

I was alluding to your other adventure up in the Pozen forest."

"We assumed as much," the Duke said. "What you did see was this.
