If there should be some mistake, some weak point, the result must be failure for all concerned. Would Wilmarth still desire to marry Miss St. Vincent? he wonders. Denise receives him with a smile in her bright eyes. "He is very comfortable," she says, and Grandon takes heart. Lindmeyer is waiting for him. His rather intense face is hopeful; and Grandon's spirits go up.
Lindmeyer will proceed to the factory and get everything in good running order for next week, and hunt up one man who understands this business, an Englishman who is looking around for a permanent position, whom he has known for some years. "Our superintendent holds his engagement by the year," says Wilmarth, with provoking suavity. "What can we do with him?"
"It is distinctly understood that I am not to be hampered in any way!" protests Lindmeyer. "Give your man a holiday," says Connery. "Two lords can never agree to rule one household." "The best thing," decides Grandon. Then they go to the factory, where an explanation is made to the men. Mr. Brent receives a check for a month's wages in advance, and a vacation. Mr.

"I will do the best I can, and we may find some other way if this fails." "And you spoke of some person " "My lawyer found a young man, a foreigner, Lindmeyer by name. He seems very ingenious.

There are so many things to go over. "Yes," he continues, "this room shall be sacred. No one shall come here but Denise and you." "Thank you." They go through to the study. He remembers the picture he saw here one day.
