'This is my pleasure today, he said, 'although the Boss did say he wanted you treated right, and his word goes both ways with me. See!" "Tell them about your experience with the New York newspaper men," suggested "Karlbeck." "Oh, that was very amusing!
Rebener," said the smaller man, bowing with exaggerated ceremony. "If it is not asking too much of you, I am sure that His Royal Highness will appreciate your kindness." The silky smoothness of his manner seemed to disgust Rebener. "Now, look here, Karlbeck, don't try to get friendly with me," he drew back as the other attempted to lay a hand upon his arm.
"Then why do you entertain our Princes so lavishly?" sneered "Karlbeck." "It is our sense of humour, which allows us to be imposed upon. That sense of humour is often mistaken for hysterical hospitality by the distinguished stranger.
"Hello, Karlbeck," he called, after satisfying himself by mumbling a jumble of unintelligible words and numbers that he had the man he wanted on the wire. "Is Smith there? What? Thames Embankment? What did you say is the number of that officer? Oh, my old butler, Pat! That's all right. Now listen; if I should miss Smith and he comes in, tell him to call me at my hotel at once.

"Lord Denton" and "Karlbeck" kept staring at him with puzzled, almost incredulous faces. "Did you find your friend on the wire?" finally ventured "Lord Denton," leaning across the table toward him.
Remember, though, we are to remain incognito until I give the word. In the meantime, we are simply 'Lord Denton' and 'Mr. Karlbeck." On that agreement, Rebener left; but the proprietor, after following him far enough to make sure that he was out of earshot, returned to the little parlour where the other men waited. "We will have to leave him out of our calculations," he shook his head.
