Will you have a Western bishop or a rather dull Englishman?" "What is the name of the Englishman?" Pamela asked, with sudden intuition. "Lutchester, dear. Quite a nice name, but I know nothing about him. He brought letters to your uncle. Rather a queer time for Englishmen to be travelling about, we thought, but still, there he is.
Yet they are going to lose this war through sheer lack of tact, for the want of that kindliness, that generosity of temperament, which exists and makes friends in nations as in individuals. The world for Germany, you know, and hell for her enemies!... But I am keeping you." Lutchester drank his wine and rose to his feet. "Pamela is sitting on the rocks there," Mr. Hastings observed.
And to-night " Lutchester threw open the door of his own bedroom and pointed to the bathroom beyond. "My man has put out everything he thinks you may want," he said. "Try and get a good night's sleep. And, Graham." "Yes?" "Don't bother your head about me, and don't ask any more questions."
Her hand was tearing at the cushion by her side. She moistened her lips. There was something about Lutchester hatefully convincing. "What do you mean?" she demanded. "Is this a trick. You won't get it! No one but Mr. Haskall will get that formula from me!" Lutchester smiled. "It will only puzzle him when he gets it! To tell you the truth, the formula is rubbish."
"That," Lutchester told him, "is the young lady to whom you have just sent a card of invitation for to-night." "Then here's hoping that she comes," Philip Downing observed, finishing his glass of mint julep. "Is she a pal of yours?" "Yes, I know her," Lutchester admitted. "Let's go and butt in, then," Downing suggested. "I love breaking up these little gatherings.
The President comes in for a great deal of abuse in some countries. Personally, I think he has been wonderful." The Ambassador nodded. "You and I both know, Lutchester," he said, "that the last thing we want is to find America dragged into this war. Such a happening would be nothing more nor less than a catastrophe in itself, to say nothing of the internal dissensions here.
"It is perfectly obvious that there is nothing uncle regrets so much as his temporary linking up with Fischer and his friends; in fact, he is going to Europe almost at once I am convinced for no other reason than to give him an excuse, upon his return, for blossoming out as a fervent supporter of the Allies." "Are you going too?" Lutchester inquired.
"The master of these," she whispered, rising to her feet in response to her hostess's signal, "knows when to abandon them " Lutchester changed his place to a vacant chair by James Van Teyl's side. "I was going to ask you, Mr. Van Teyl," he inquired, "whether your Japanese servant was altogether a success? I think I shall have to get a temporary servant while I am over here."
"So that is the letter which you are taking to your Emperor!" Lutchester said. "You think it worth while! You can really see the German fleet steaming past the British Isles, out into the Atlantic, and bombarding New York!" Nikasti made no reply. Lutchester looked at him for a moment thoughtfully. There was a light once more in the beaten man's eyes a queer, secretive gleam.
"You are wondering how I got hold of this, of course?" he observed. "Just one of those simple little coincidences which either mean a great deal or nothing at all." "How did you know it was mine?" Pamela asked, almost under her breath. "I'll explain," Lutchester continued. "I was in the lobby of the hotel, a few minutes ago, when I heard the fire bell outside.
