Voices had come to him as they had come to the girl at Domrémy, and they had told him that through Zora Middlemist, and no other, was his life's mission to be accomplished. To her it was anticlimax. Reaction forced a laugh against her will. She leaned back among the sofa cushions. "Is that all?" she said, and Sypher did not catch the significance of the words.
Shuttleworth smiled, guessing that the remark was humorous. "Well," he said, "that's as you please. But the name and title naturally are the essence of the matter." "I see," said Sypher. "'Clem Sypher, Friend of Humanity, is the essence of the matter." "With the secret recipe, of course." "Of course," said Sypher, absently.
You did the only thing possible." "You take a load off my mind," said Shuttleworth. He drew a long breath, as though relieved from an intolerable burden. "What is your proposal?" asked Sypher. "I am authorized by the Jebusa Jones Company to approach you with regard to a most advantageous arrangement for both parties.
"Why the best of it?" asked Zora, puzzled. "It only shows how unscrupulous they are in their business methods. A man like that could persuade a fishmonger or an undertaker to stock it. But he'll do them in the end. They'll suffer for it." "Who will?" "Why, Jebusa Jones, of course. Oh, I see," he continued, looking at the two perplexed faces, "you don't know who I am. I am Clem Sypher."
And then her eye was arrested by the appearance of her own name in the text of a brief advertisement, which she read naturally, with heightened interest: IF MICHAEL LANYARD will communicate privately he will hear news of Sofia his daughter.

Her devotion to her husband has been told by me more formally, it is worthy the pen of poet and historian. She lived and breathed in the Deacon, marked all her clothes, M. D. S., Miss Deacon Sypher. Her hull atmosphere wuz Deacon, her goal wuz his happiness, her heaven his presence.
I wouldn't want to be the one that said that he had demeaned himself to that extent. Wall, he wouldn't give a cent, and Peedick wouldn't give, and Deacon Henzy and Deacon Sypher wouldn't. They said that there wuz certain members of the meetin' house that had said to certain people suthin' slightin' about buzz saws.
It was on this occasion that Septimus made his one contribution to pessimistic philosophy. "When you analyze anything in life," said he, "don't you think that you always come down to a reductio ad absurdum?" "I'm very sorry to leave you, Mr. Sypher," said Shuttleworth, "but my first duty is to my wife and family."
"You mark my words," she said, "he'll murder them both in their sleep." Concerning Zora, too, she was emphatic. "I am not one of those who think every woman ought to get married; but if she can't conduct herself decently without a husband, she ought to have one." "But surely Mrs. Middlemist's conduct is irreproachable," said Sypher. "Irreproachable?
Clem Sypher, down for the week-end at Penton Court, burst in upon him during the afternoon. He came with exciting news. The high official in the Ordnance Department of the War Office had written to him that morning to the effect that he was so greatly impressed by the new quick-firing gun that he proposed to experiment forthwith, and desired to be put into communication with the inventor.
