We removed our boots, and walked about on our stockinged feet, and at Annerly's suggestion, not only placed the furniture as before, but turned the coal-scuttle upside down, and laid a wet towel over the top of the wastepaper basket. All complete, I wrung Annerly's hand, and went out into the darkness. I waited next morning in vain.
"And how," I asked, amazed at Annerly's instinctive penetration into the mysteries of the psychic world, "how do you intend to get it to him?"

My plan is to leave two sovereigns here upon the edge of the table during the night.
I was fearful, however, lest it might prove too small to enable Q to organise his fellow phantoids with it. I carried the money in notes and sovereigns to Annerly's room, where it was laid on the table.
I had no sooner grasped Annerly's meaning than I became enthusiastic over it. We decided to try the great experiment that night. My own worldly capital was, unfortunately, no great amount. I had, however, some 500 pounds in bank stock left to me at my father's decease, which I could, of course, realise within a few hours.
