Lord Ferriby had, in truth, come to the meeting with no such intention. He had, with all his vast experience, no knowledge of a purely commercial assembly such as this. His public had hitherto been a drawing-room public. He was accustomed to a flower-decked platform, from which to deliver his flowing periods to the emotional of both sexes.
"Even the untimely death of Lord Ferriby which might at first have appeared a contretemps. Cornish takes home the coffin by tonight's mail, I understand. Men may come, madame, and men may go but we go on for ever. We are still prosperous despite our friends. And Cornish is nonplussed. He does not know what to do next, and fate seems to be against him. He has no luck.
Wade, who, as he drove up, had seen that brilliant financier uneasily strolling under the trees of the Toornoifeld, looking towards the hotel, for Lord Ferriby's death was a link in the crooked malgamite chain which even Von Holzen had failed to foresee. Indeed, Lord Ferriby must have been gratified could he have seen the posthumous pother that he made by dying at this juncture.
"Could you meet me off London train at Paragon Station at 3.9 tomorrow re death of Coburn. I should like to get back by 4.0. If not would stay and go out to Ferriby. "Scotland Yard." He travelled that same day to Hull, having arranged for the reply to be sent after him.
He has taken money from those men at Scheveningen blood money. He has had his share. I propose that Lord Ferriby explains his position." Mr. Thompson banged his fist on the table, and at the same moment sat down with extreme precipitation, urged thereto by Major White's hand on his collar. "This is not a vestry meeting," said the major, sternly. Lord Ferriby had risen to his feet.
For no man is proof against the satisfaction of being able to call a celebrated person by his Christian name. The major had long admired Joan, in his stupid way from, as one might say, the other side of the room. But neither Lord nor Lady Ferriby had encouraged this silent suit.
"Un homme serieux est celui qui se croit regarde." When Lord Ferriby decided to accede to Roden's earnest desire that he should go to The Hague, he was conscious of conferring a distinct favour upon the Low Countries. "It is not a place one would choose to go to at this time of year," he said to a friend at the club.
She was smiling a little hard smile with close-set lips, showing the world a face that meant to take life open-eyed, as it is, and make the best of it. Before long the two girls quitted the room, leaving the three men to their hushed discussion. Tony had already provided himself with pen and paper. In twelve hours that which the world must know about Lord Ferriby should be in print.
The way to rule the world is to make it want something, and keep it wanting. "I make so bold as to hope," Lord Ferriby was saying, "that when sufficient publicity has been given to our scheme we shall be able to raise the necessary funds. In the fulness of this hope, I have ventured to jot down the names of certain gentlemen who have been kind enough to assume the trusteeship.
And this wise world of ours is mainly right." "Then you are of opinion, my dear White, that one cannot well refuse to meet these er persons?" "Not," replied Major White to Lord Ferriby, whose hand rested on his stout arm as they walked with dignity in the shade of the trees that border the Vyver that quaint old fish-pond of The Hague "not without running the risk of being called a d d swindler."
