There they are, those marks! Fortunate for you, Mr.
Falkiner Wraye, after cheating and deceiving Brake, and leaving him to pay the penalty of his over-trustfulness, cleared out of England and carried his money-making talents to foreign parts. He succeeded in doing well he would! and eventually he came back and married a rich widow and settled himself down in an out-of-the-world English town to grow roses.
