"Yes," she eagerly replied, as one seeking after righteousness. "Do let's see." "The option must be taken up to-morrow. Good! That's clear. It came rather casual-like, but it's now clear. £4500 has to be paid down to buy the existing building on the land and so on.... Eh?" "Yes. Of course Mr. Bryany told you all that, didn't he?" said Rose, brightly. "Mr.

Bryany with eagerness, and moved towards the door. "Here's the key of my sitting-room," Seven Sachs stopped him, producing a key. Mr. Bryany, by a mischance catching Edward Henry's eye as he took the key, blushed. In a moment Edward Henry was alone with the two silent celebrities. "Well," said Edward Henry to himself, "I've let myself in for it this time no mistake!

"I'm Seven Sachs's manager." It was as if he owned and operated Mr. Seven Sachs. "So I heard," said Edward Henry, and then remarked with mischievous cordiality, "and I suppose these chaps told you I was the sort of man you were after. And you got them to ask me in, eh, Mr. Bryany?" Mr. Bryany gave an uneasy laugh, but seemed to find naught to say. "Well, what is your little affair?"

I've been after you for the better part of two days, and now I find you're staying in the same hotel as Mr. Sachs and me!" "Oh!" said Edward Henry. He understood now why, on the previous day, the dandy introducing him to his suite had smiled a welcome at the name of Alderman Machin, and why Joseph had accepted so naturally the command to take a bath. Bryany had been talking.

Bryany, among other documents, had furnished him with a photograph of the Chapel and surrounding property. The Chapel therefore existed. He had a plan in his pocket. He now opened this plan and tried to consult it in the middle of the street, but his agitation was such that he could not make out on it which was north and which was south.

Bryany covertly looking him over. And he thought: "Look, my boy! I make no charge." He smiled and nodded to one or two people who with pride saluted him from the stalls.... It was meet that he should be visible there on that Friday night!

Bryany had been recounting his exploits as a card. The voice of Bryany in his ear continued: "Look here! I've got Miss Euclid here and some friends of hers. Of course she wants to see you at once. Can you come down?" "Er " He hesitated. He could not come down. He would have no evening wear till the next day but one. Said the voice of Bryany: "What?" "I can't," said Edward Henry.

Mr.. Bryany entered, and not only Mr.. Bryany but Mr.. Seven Sachs, and not only these, but the lady who had worn a red hat at lunch. "Miss Rose Euclid," said Mr.. Bryany, puffing and bending. Once, on a short visit to London, Edward Henry had paid half-a-crown to be let into a certain enclosure with a very low ceiling.

"I think you ought to," Edward Henry concurred. "But that won't help things. I feel a little responsible, especially to a lady. You have a quarter of the whole option left in your hands, Miss Euclid. I'll pay you at the same rate as Bryany sold to me. I gave £100 for half. Your quarter is therefore worth £50. Well, I'll pay you £50." "And then what?" "Then let the whole affair slide."

"But aren't you going in with us?" exclaimed Rose, horror-struck. "No, madam." "But Mr. Bryany told us positively you were! He said it was all arranged!" "Mr. Bryany ought to be more careful," said Edward Henry. "If he doesn't mind he'll be telling a downright lie some day." "But you bought half the option!" "Well," said Edward Henry, reasoning. "What is an option? What does it mean?
