I noticed four loitering round the entrance, as I came in, and feared...." "Why didn't you tell me, then?" "I have just told you the reason. I supposed you were in your disguise...." "That's so." The alarmed expression gradually faded, though he remained troubled. "I sure am Maitland to the life," he continued with satisfaction. "Even the head-waiter "
I didn't quite know you in in these clothes." In her own finery she had undergone such a change to Reddy's consciousness that he, for the first time in their acquaintance, now addressed her as on his own level, and as if she had no understanding of his own feelings. "Oh," he said, with easy bitterness, "OTHERS did, if you did not. They all detected the 'head-waiter' at the Union Company's rancho.
Though the duke and his servant were the only passengers that got off the train at Lone, the whole force of the "Hereward Arms," landlord, head-waiter, hostler, boots and stable boys turned out to meet them. "Your grace is unco welcome to the 'Hereward Arms," said Donald Duncan, the worthy host, bowing low before his distinguished guest.
We so far failed, however, that the Altrurian shook hands with the head-waiter when he pressed open the wire-netting door to let us into the dining-room, and made a bow to our waitress of the sort one makes to a lady. But we thought it best to ignore these little errors of his and reserve our moral strength for anything more spectacular.
An extraordinary person in a white tie, top hat and evening dress entered. He looked like a cross between Mr. Gerard's description of himself in Berlin and a head-waiter. He evidently expected his advent to cause a profound sensation. I found out why: he was the official welcomer to Evian.

The head-waiter, whom a little well-timed liberality had rendered my devoted slave, informed me that Madame Sendel had been making minute inquiries concerning me of the master of the hotel.
At the sound of his feet on the gravel the bushes new apart, and a man sprang into the walk and confronted him. But, at sight of the head-waiter, the legs of the man became rigid, his heels clicked together, his hand went sharply to his visor. Behind the house, surrounded on every side by trees, was a tiny lawn.
I told him everything." Mr. Horser leaned over the table. His eyes were bloodshot, his tone was fierce and threatening. Mr. Sabin was coldly courteous. The difference between the demeanour of the two men was remarkable. "You knew what those letters meant! This is a plot! Where is Skinner's report?" Mr. Sabin raised his eyebrows. He signaled to the head-waiter.
This man, with his side-whiskers and fine air, may have been a head-waiter or a dance-fiddler in better days; but his soft, plaintive voice, and hacking cough, bespoke the invalid. He told us what he knew about the creek, which was little enough, as he had but recently come to these parts.
