"I am sorry, of course, that you have lost the business," Peter concluded; "but surely it's better than losing your money?" Mr. Heseltine-Wrigge struck the table fiercely with his fist. There was a grey and unfamiliar look about his face. "D n it, the money's gone!" he declared hoarsely: "They changed the day. Kosuth had to go back. I paid it twenty-four hours ago." Peter whistled softly.
"We will resume it later," Peter said, softly. "I have interests in Turkey, and it would give me great pleasure to have a talk with Major Kosuth." "Financial interests?" the latter inquired, with some eagerness. Peter nodded. "I will explain after the first drive," he said, turning away. Peter walked rather quickly until he reached a bend in the wood, and overtaking his host, paused for a moment.
His luggage was already being piled upon a cab. Mr. Heseltine-Wrigge wasted no words upon him. "You and I have got to have a talk, right here and now," he declared. "Where's the Count?" Major Kosuth frowned gloomily. "I do not understand you," he said shortly. "Our business is concluded, and I am leaving by the two-twenty train."
"If you will permit me for a moment," he said, "there is a little explanation I should perhaps make to Major Kosuth." The Turk took a step towards the door.

The Turk turned unwillingly in the direction indicated. All four men passed through the cafe, up some stairs, and into the small smoking-room. The room was deserted.
"Then where does Bernadine come in?" "I do not know," Peter answered. Violet laughed. "What is it that you are going to try to find out?" she asked. "I am trying to discover who it is that Bernadine and Kosuth are waiting to see," Peter replied. "The worst of it is, I daren't leave here. I shall have to trust to the others."

Von Hern performed the introduction with a reluctance which he wholly failed to conceal. The Turk, however, had been walking on his other side, and his hat was already lifted. Peter had purposely raised his voice. "It gives me the greatest pleasure, Major Kosuth," Peter said, "to welcome you to this country.
Turkey is under covenant to enter into no financial obligations with any other Power while the interest of former loans remains in abeyance. Kosuth has made two efforts to obtain loan privately, from prominent English financier and French syndicate. Both have declined to treat on representations from Government. Kosuth was expected return direct to Turkey.
