The door shut with a little bang, and when he tried to open it again, he found that it seemed to have jammed. Edestone waited. He thought he heard, or rather he felt, a vibration as if someone were moving in the next booth. He tried the door again, but found that it held fast. He was about to signal the switchboard operator and tell him to come and open up the booth, when an, "Are you there, Mr.
He might have added more but Lawrence appeared just then and, imitating a barker in a sideshow, announced that everything was ready for the performance. The entertainment proved a brilliant success. Edestone showed some scenes from America which he had brought over to amuse the distinguished audiences he had expected to meet in Europe.
"But why talk about pleasant things when we have such serious matters on our hands." "Mr. Edestone looked as if he meant serious business all right," said one of the officers. "Listen! I hear the wireless sending a message now." Lawrence listened, and repeated as he heard: "The Little Peace Maker is now running for Kiel, where she will arrive at 8:30.
In the end, you did leave me rather abruptly, and seemed offended at something I had done; but I trust you have recovered from that by this time." Edestone could hear him laughing heartily. "You have met me?" repeated Edestone, completely mystified. "When and where?" "Today; in London. Indeed, I am in London now." "In London, Count von Hemelstein?" Involuntarily Edestone lowered his voice.
Edestone himself, doing some juggling tricks with heavy dumb-bells and weights, but we learned afterwards from the porter that an expressman had left two large and heavy trunks marked, 'A. M. Black and P. S. Stanton, at No. 4141 Grosvenor Square East." "Well what is the report," demanded Bombiadi, "on No. 4141 Grosvenor Square?"
They were now slowly swinging around the Palace, and as the people of Berlin knew nothing, they took the accepted German position, which was that Edestone was afraid of the Kaiser's wrath, and they therefore came flocking out into the streets to see him dip his flag to that of the all-powerful German Empire. Lawrence noted that the Imperial standard was no longer flying over the Palace.
Thoroughly amused at the situation which compelled him to bring up the rear of the procession like the piano-tuner or the gas-man, Edestone marched along at the side of an attendant in livery, who evidently looked upon him as a clever vaudeville artist that had been brought in to entertain the company.
How well they are turned out, and how very smartly you wear your livery." The equerry, Colonel Stewart, was very simple and direct. He treated Edestone with consideration, but did not forget to let him understand that the King was showing great condescension in inviting him so informally.
And jumping out of his chair he ran about the room, making the most ridiculous gestures, crying: "Air, I want air!" while Edestone laughed until the tears rolled down his cheeks. "But say, Bo," said Lawrence, "there is nothing to it. What do you suppose those crazy Dutchmen are thinking about?
Edestone?" came to him from across the wire, and caused him for the moment to forget the refractory door. "Hello!" he answered. "Yes; I am Mr. Edestone. Who is this?" The voice, instead of replying directly, spoke as if to another person with an aside. "Mr. Edestone is on the wire." A moment, and then a second voice spoke. "Are you there, Mr. Edestone?"
