Grant smiled, showing his white teeth in a way that was not pleasant to see, and somehow reminded me of a dog's snarl. "Good! Good!
I smiled within myself when I realized how bitterly disappointed the burglars must have been, for a British Consul when he goes on leave to England always takes his ciphers with him, and deposits them at the Foreign Office for safekeeping.
