They can't hold Lennox on a paper-cutter that belongs to me, and a few empty words said in my presence and which, if necessary, I did not hear. They can't hold him on that.

Courtney laid the paper-cutter carefully on the blotter, and drawing out his cigarette case, he selected one and slowly lit it. I knew his way and waited patiently. "And Lotzen and the Crown?" he said presently. "Do you care for the whole story?" I asked. "Yes, let me have it all," and, settling back in his chair, he closed his eyes and prepared to listen.
