Fortune has been less kind to me in a worldly way; consequently you see in me merely the skipper of my wealthy kinsman's yacht." "And your two names are the same yours and your cousin's? You're both Whitaker Monks?" "It is a favourite name in our family, monsieur." Lanyard wagged his head in solemn admiration. Phinuit had come to his side, and was offering his hand in turn. "It's all gospel, Mr.
Ah, no, my friend! either you will tell me how you learned this secret, or I must beg you to let me get my sleep." "That's easy. I heard Whit and Phinuit talking about you the other night, on deck, when they didn't think anybody was listening." Lanyard smiled into the darkness: no need to fret about fair play toward this one!
Piper writing as George Pelham. What Mrs. Piper saw or felt or heard would be at least at stated times seen or felt or heard by her fellow conspirators. As in conjuring everything found was placed beforehand in the desired position. Thus facts recounted had been induced. The blackguard who spoke to her as Phinuit was less educated than the one who dictated George Pelham's communications. Mrs.
"Might I suggest" the unctuous tones of Captain Monk issued from under mildly wounded eyebrows "if any one of us were unappreciative of Monsieur Lanyard's undoubted talents, he would not be with us tonight."

"Steady, gents!" he counselled coolly. "Orders are to let everybody in and nobody out without Mr. Lanyard says so."

"Mr. Phinuit and I are agreed that Monsieur Lanyard is entitled to know more about our intentions while he has time to weigh them carefully. We have only four more days at sea..." Unable longer to contain himself, Lanyard left his chair with alacrity. "But this is so delightful!
"Why, if it comes to that what were you up to that night, pussyfooting about the château at two in the morning?" "But this is positively uncanny! Monsieur knows everything." "Why shouldn't I know about that?" Vanity rang in Phinuit's self-conscious chuckle. "Who'd you think laid you out that night?" "Monsieur is not telling me !"
