Kenyon, and so, being aware that both of you were interested in this mica-mine, I called to see you with reference to it. 'Indeed! I understood Mr. Kenyon to say that he had called upon you, and that you had decided to have nothing to do with it. 'I hardly think he was justified in saying anything quite so definite. I got from him such particulars as he cared to give.

After their work for the London Syndicate was finished, the young men had done a little business on their own account. They visited together a mica-mine that was barely paying expenses, and which the proprietors were anxious to sell. The mine was owned by the Austrian Mining Company, whose agent, Von Brent, was interviewed by Kenyon in Ottawa.
