Even as Police Constable Farrow spoke they heard the loud snorting of an exhaust, marking the initial efforts of a motor bicycle's engine to get under way. In a few seconds came the rhythmic beat of the machine as it gathered speed; the two men looked at each other and laughed. "Master Robert defies the majesty of the law," said Winter dryly.

A hansom jingled by and a bicycle's sharp bell was a loud noise in the after-dinner silence. Joyselle was standing by a table, absently balancing on his forefinger a long, broad, ivory paper-knife.
