Cairn's house in Half-Moon Street presented a cheery appearance, and this despite the gloom of the morning; for thunderous clouds hung low in the sky, and there were distant mutterings ominous of a brewing storm. Robert Cairn stood looking out of the window.
Adjoining the mosque, was a ruinous house, which clearly had had no occupants for many years. As Robert Cairn's gaze lighted upon its gaping window-frames and doorless porch, he seized his father by the arm. "We might hide up there," he suggested, "and watch for anyone entering or leaving the place opposite." "I have little doubt that this was the scene of my experience," replied Dr.
"Now, Crombie," said Dr. Cairn, quietly, closing the door behind him, "what is this story about the orchid-houses, and why did you not mention it before?" The man stared persistently into the shadows of the room, avoiding Dr. Cairn's glance. "Since he has had the courage to own up," interrupted Mr.
'And soon a score of fires, I ween, From height, and hill, and cliff were seen; . . . . . . .

The Lay of the Last Minstrel.
"She persisted that someone wearing a crocodile mask had been standing beside her at the moment that she was taken ill." Sime started; perhaps Cairn's story was not a matter of imagination after all. "There is someone here, dressed like that, I believe," he replied, with affected carelessness. "He seems to have frightened several people. Any idea who he is?"

He had an impression of a trap raised, of stone steps descended, of a new darkness almost palpable. The gloom of the place effected him as a mental blank, and, when a bright light shone out, it seemed to mark the opening of a second dream phase.

Not content with driving me from London, you would also render Cairo my dear Cairo untenable for me." Cairn clutched the bars but was silent. "How wrong of you, Cairn!" the soft voice mocked.

"Between ourselves, Cairn," Sir Elwin had confided, "I believe he altered his will." The inquiry of a taxi driver interrupted Cairn's meditations. He entered the vehicle, giving Sir Michael Ferrara's address.
Cairn's jaw squared and his mouth was very grim, when he recognised his son's voice over the wires. "Well, boy?" "They're here, sir now, while I'm speaking!
