Jim and Lilas were talking loudly when a key grated in the lock, the door of the little apartment opened and clicked shut again. Another instant and Jarvis Hammon paused on the threshold, glowering. Lilas's wine-glass shattered upon the floor. "Jarvis! You frightened me," she cried. "Evening, Mr. Hammon." Bob lurched to his feet, upsetting his chair. "This IS a s'prise."
"It's not much fun, sir, running an auto," she gasped. "I don't believe I'd like it!" Half propped up on one elbow, still dizzy with mental chaos, still paralyzed with physical inertia, the Senior Surgeon lay staring blankly all around him. Indifferently for an instant his stare included the White Linen Nurse. Then glowering suddenly at something way beyond her, his face went perfectly livid.

"Write me that paper I want, and pay me my money." "Write what ?" "That the lower shaft and the last drift was cut by your order. Write it!" He pointed to the paper on the desk. Wickersham sat down and wrote a few lines. His hand trembled. "Here it is," he said sullenly. "Now pay me," said the glowering Scotchman.

Again the agent paused, and remained as though transfixed, holding that face of his, whose yellow had run into the whites of the eyes, as still as wood.
"Those qualities," he retorted, now glowering at the engineer, "are traits which every man possesses in his own estimation, and in which he regards his neighbors as singularly lacking!"
