"You have given me the surprise of my life, Orden," he confessed. "That, however, is a personal matter. Hannaway Wells is in the study. You have no objection, I suppose, to his being present?" "None whatever." Mr. Stenson rang the bell, and in a few minutes they were joined by his colleague. The former wasted no time in explanations.
"I have a theory that it is being engineered." "Bolo business, eh?" Julian Orden moved in his place a little uneasily. His long, nervous fingers played with the stick which stood always by the side of his chair. "You don't believe in it, do you?" he asked quietly. Furley looked straight ahead of him.
