In the course of an hour or so his charge began to choke, or pretended to. Higgins became alarmed and removed the gag.

"You noticed a resemblance?" he resumed. Maitland, too, was smiling. "Something of the sort."
An instant later, O'Hagan returned, bearing a slip of white pasteboard which he deposited on the desk before Maitland. "'James Burleson Snaith," Maitland read aloud from the faultlessly engraved card. "I don't know him. What does he want?"

Just now she was trying to be cross, but the smile of welcome on the broad face would have its way. "Set down an' rest yo' weary bones, honey. I'll have yo' suppah dished up in no time a-tall. Yore paw was axin' where is you awhile ago." "Where's dad?" asked Miss Bertie Lee Snaith carelessly as she flung her gloves on a chair.
