After dinner that evening, in the midst of Italo's brilliant performance, a caller came, a thin, oldish, English-speaking lady whose black dress made no pretense of following the fashion. Aurora had met her at Mrs. Satterlee's during a meeting appointed to raise funds for the Protestant orphanage.
I know you don't mean it so, and you think I'm a little flighty. Well, I am. Very flighty, indeed! But fancy old Madame Satterlee's face!" "Ma'am?" asked the puzzled servant, really afraid that grief for Sir Christopher had upset her mistress' mind. "I said: Get a supper ready in the breakfast-room. Do you understand?" "Yes, ma'am. For one or two?" "For two. For this young gentleman and myself."
The half-caste brothers fell in joyfully with the suggestion, and their first wild proposals were beaten down to forty dollars a month for custodianship and fifteen dollars for the room and the transport of Satterlee's food from the International Hotel fifty-five dollars in all. Thirty dollars a month for the hotel raised the grand total to eighty-five dollars.
"Strike!" droned the umpire, and a little knot of boys on the bank waved red banners and cheered delightedly. Then ball and bat came together and the runner was speeding toward first. But the hit had been weak and long before he reached the bag the ball was snuggling in Donald Satterlee's mitten, and up on the terrace the Willardians breathed their relief. The nines changed sides.
As Mr. Skiddy, the boyish American consul, expressed himself, "You can't get anybody to do anything these days." Possibly this long spell of monotony contributed to Captain Satterlee's pronounced and instant success. The topsails of the Southern Belle had hardly more than appeared over the horizon, when people began to wake up and realize that stagnation had too long held them in its thrall.
Was Washington so good a man? and would not Jethro have been as great as the Father of his Country if he had had the opportunities? The answers sorely tried Mr. Satterlee's conscience, albeit he was not a man of the world. It set him thinking. He liked Jethro, this man of rugged power whose word had become law in the state.
Somewhat reluctantly, with the moon urging him to madness, Philip obeyed. To Diane his words supplied the final link in the chain of mystery. "And Satterlee's yacht," finished Philip, leaning on his oars, "was laid up in Hoboken for repairs. Carl phoned his attorneys." "You spoke of seeing Carl?" "Yes. He was with his father then. Telegraphed me Monday.

But until the date of Captain Satterlee's arrival he had never had a friend, or at least so it seemed to him now in the retrospect. His official colleagues were out of the question the standoffish Englishman, the sullen German, the grotesque Swede who held the highest judicial office. No, there was not the little finger of a friend in the whole galaxy. And elsewhere?
