Woods came upon Adèle Haggage and Hugh Van Orden, both of whom he knew, very much engrossed in one another, in a nook under the stairway. To Billy it seemed just now quite proper that every one should be in love; wasn't it after all the most pleasant condition in the world? So he greeted them with a semi-paternal smile that caused Adèle to flush a little. For she was let us say, interested in Mr.
He greeted Catherine and the Bishop absently and seemed to have a grievance against Fenn. "What is it you want, Nicholas?" he asked impatiently. "I have some experiments going on in the country and can only spare a minute." "The Council has rescinded its instructions with regard to Julian Orden," Fenn announced, "and is anxious to have him brought before them at once.
Tommy Van Orden, under his mother's adoring eyes, was trying, in imitation of his big Uncle Jack, to teach the puppy to wipe its paws. The three men were on the porch. Professor Brierly, in an expansive mood, was enlarging on one of his favorite conversational topics. "Education! Education has become a mere form.
"My friends," the latter began, "as I sent word to you a little time ago, Mr. Stenson has preferred to bring you his answer himself. Our ambassador Mr. Julian Orden waited upon him at Downing Street at the hour arranged upon, and, in accordance with his wish to meet you all, Mr. Stenson is paying us this visit."
We use this means in the interests of the country, and such risk as there may be lies on your own head." "You're a canting hypocrite!" Julian declared. "Try your delirium. That packet happens to be in the one place where neither you nor one of your tribe could get at it." "It is a serious moment, this, Mr. Orden," Fenn reminded him.
Julian Orden has no purpose to serve, no selfish interest to further. He has nothing to gain, everything to lose. If he were not sincere, if those words of his, which we all remember, did not come from his heart, where could be the excuse, the reason, for what he stands for? Think what it means to us!" "He is the man, isn't he," Sands asked mysteriously, "whom they are looking after down yonder?"

Julian had heard their voices for the last few minutes without being able to distinguish a word of their actual conversation. "We have considered the document you have brought, Orden," the Prime Minister said, "and we frankly admit that we find its contents surprising.
Orden has escaped from the place of safety in which he had been placed. He is now at large, and his story, together with the packet, will probably be in the hands of the Foreign Office some time to-night." "Giving them," Cross remarked grimly, "the chance to get in the first blow warrants for high treason, eh, against the twenty-three of us?"
"You will doubtless be as astonished as I was, Wells," he said, "to learn that our friend Julian Orden comes here as the representative of the new Labour Council. His qualifications, amongst others, are that under the pseudonym of `Paul Fiske' he is the writer of those wonderful articles which have been the beacon light and the inspiration of the Labour Party for the last year." Mr.
"I agree with you that it is highly desirable that Mr. Orden should be found at once, and if you can suggest any way in which I might be of assistance in discovering his present whereabouts, I shall be only too glad to help. For instance, would you like me to telephone to his rooms?" Catherine rose to her feet. "Thank you, Mr. Fenn," she said, "I don't think that we will trouble you. Mr.
