In the hands of his clique the Government remained. Such was the news.... It was followed in three days by a Representation to the Regent, signed by 90,000 Jews in Palestine, the fourth name being Rebekah Frankl's, they imploring him for their sinking ship just launched, calling him "Father".
"We know!" said the gentleman, and, approaching Frankl's ear, asked in Yiddish: "How long has she had her delusion?" "Only about a week, I think. She may be violent at first, but " "Come in, Miss Hogarth", said the gentleman. Margaret passed the threshold; the doors closed upon her...
Yonder lay the yacht with her fires banked, and was soon under weigh. She had started, when a harbour-master's motor-boat was observed giving chase, in her an officer from Scotland Yard who bore a bag, found by means of the key in Frankl's pocket in the Adair Street safe; on its clasp the name "Mahomet", and it contained L850,000: so that the yacht went wealthy on her way.
