"And now, Bob, for the last surprise of all. At first, I thought I would delay telling you until the papers were all in shape and ready for signature; but on second thought it seemed a pity to shut you out of the fun. We have all the data prepared to take out a patent on Mr. Spence's motor-boat." Bob felt a sudden sinking of his heart, a stifling of his breath.
"Do you play?" exclaimed Mrs. Kame, in a voice of mixed incredulity and hope. "Play!" cried Mr. Brent, "she can teach Jerry Shorter or the Duchess of Taunton." "The Duchess cheats," announced Cecil Grainger. "I caught her at it at Cannes " "Indeed, I don't play very well," Honora interrupted him, "and besides " "Suppose we go over to Mrs. Spence's house," Trixton Brent suggested.

She asked the telephone operator to call up Mr. Spence's house at Quicksands and waited. "I'm sorry, madam," he said, after a little while, which seemed like half an hour to Honora, "but they've had a fire in the Kingston exchange, and the Quicksands line is out of order."

At five o'clock, when he entered Mr Spence's study, O'Hara's face wore the awe-struck look of one who had seen visions. "Well?" said Mr Spence. "Did you find him any good?" "Good?" said O'Hara. "He'll beat them all. He's a champion. There's no stopping him." "What an extraordinary thing!" said Mr Spence.

He would not understand all the circumstances.

You'll want to make a start for yourself now. Only, of course, for the sake of appearances " "Oh, certainly," Millner hastily agreed. "Well, then: is that all?" Mr. Spence repeated. "Nearly."
He had always been intensely interested in observing his own reactions, and had regarded this faculty of self-detachment as of immense advantage in such a career as he had planned.
