"How about that," he asked at the end, "for an American row de luxe?" "My God, it's great," I whispered.
"A few hours ago," Hunterleys replied. "By the Luxe? How strange! I went down to meet it." "I came from the other side." "Ah!" Mr. Draconmeyer's ejaculation was interrogative, Hunterleys hesitated for a moment. Then he continued with a little shrug of the shoulders. "I have been staying at San Remo and Bordighera." Mr. Draconmeyer was much interested.
The insults which had been heaped upon the Celebrity on the yacht seemed to have raised rather than lowered him in Miss Thorn's esteem, for these two ensconced themselves among the pines above the camp with an edition de luxe of one of his works which she had brought along.

Captain Clark's friends had even sent their car for the girls to make the trip to Nomoko, so there was really little for the quartette to do except pack up and start.
