In the meantime Mr. Vane's caller had reached the first floor; he hesitated just a moment before knocking at the door of Number Seven, and the Honourable Hilary's voice responded. The door opened. Hilary was seated, as usual, beside the marble-topped table, which was covered with newspapers and memoranda. In the room were Mr. Ridout, the capital lawyer, and Mr.
The senator shook his head and laughed. "Job is an independent cuss," he said, "I'm afraid he'd regard that as an unwarranted trespass on his preserves."
