Captain Ewart is waiting to speak to you. He came with me from Lord Cromer's." Captain Ewart then went in, and after settling the business on which he had come, asked Mr. Murray questions about Gregory, and received a sketch of his story. "He seems to be a fine young fellow," he said, "well grown and active, not at all what one would expect from a product of Cairo." "No, indeed.
I did not feel the charm which was supposed to flow from Rhodes. To begin with, I thought him an ugly-looking fellow. The "late Roman Emperor" profile was a very flattering suggestion.

"No," she said quietly, her body relaxing, "I shall not bungle it." William Spantz had been watching her narrowly, even suspiciously. Now his face cleared. "She will not fail," he announced calmly.
