Probably he would not suffer if he did. The flotation was underwritten and bound to go through; the scandal would come afterwards, months or years hence, long before which he might get out, as most of the others meant to do. No, he could not. His conscience was too much for him. "I do not see any use in reconsidering that question, Mr. Haswell," he said quietly; "we settled it on Friday night."
Arthur Dean could easily be kept out of the way. Elaine would no doubt be still confined to the surgical home at Wiesbaden. Matheson and his wife were problems of much more difficulty. In whatever part of Europe Matheson might be, he would be certain to hear of the flotation. The point was to delay his knowledge of it for two or three days.
He had first to see Olive safely in hospital. It was all that he could do for her. Then he returned to the journalist. "I suppose that you know that the other two boats were picked up early this morning?" said Martin. "Good! and Larssen's little boy?" "Quite sound. I made a special interview with him.... By the way, you know that the Hudson Bay flotation is going strong on the wing?"
She packed her father back to England the very next day, to get to work on the Hudson Bay flotation, and Lars Larssen remained on at Monte Carlo. Though he had led Olive to believe that he had given in merely to please her, yet his true motive was very different. His feelings towards her held no scrap of passion in them.
Markel blew his nose vigorously, coughed asthmatically, and held out his hand. "Of course, certainly," said he effusively. "I've met Carruthers several times used his sheet more than once to advertise a new bond flotation." The dominant note in Markel's voice was an ingratiating and unpleasant whine, and Carruthers nodded, not very cordially and shook hands.
Now, many treat this problem of aerial flotation as if it were of the nature of a miracle something not to be explained. Explanations which have been advanced have, it is true, been in many cases altogether untenable.
And he, Larssen, was dependent on Olive's whims! The flotation of his Hudson Bay scheme hinging on her momentary fancies! The fighting instinct surged up within him. He could look for no help from Olive it was to be a single-handed battle with Clifford Matheson. Well, he'd give no quarter to anyone man or woman! Aloud he said, with a perfect assumption of resignation: "What do you wish me to do?"

I am afraid to think of what would have become of a vessel so little seaworthy as the ark and of its very numerous passengers, under the peculiar obstacles to quiet flotation which such rapid movements of depression and upheaval would have generated.
With increased hesitation he went dryly on: "I've never enquired minutely into the circumstances of the flotation. It has not seemed to be my business to do so, and upon advice I may say that the Committee would not hold that such was my business. My position is quite clear, upon that point." "Oh, perfectly," Thorpe assented. "It couldn't possibly be any of your business either then, or now."
