"You mean at about two o'clock in the morning," amended Darrow. "Eh? Yes, it was about two. But how did he get on to what Eldridge was doing?" "He read it in the paper," replied Darrow. "At twelve the reporters left.
"Uh-huh," Zenas Henry agreed with the same bored inflection. "An' that leaves you rockin' like a baby in a cradle 'til you can get the wheel free." "Uh-huh." There was a moment of silence. "It can't be much of a stunt tossin' round in a choppy sea like as if you was a chip on the waves," commented Jan Eldridge with a commiserating grin. "'Tain't."

"He's got tired of your fool messages," remarked the Register man. "And I don't wonder! Guess he's gone to bed." Eldridge said nothing, but replaced the Leyden jar he had but just removed.
