He had intended asking his brother-in-law for a loan, and it was a load off his mind to find that Joseph was actually in town. A letter might, probably would, have fallen into Ida's hands, and this was one of those cases where an interview was better than many pages of explanations. In reply to the telegram, Jimmy wired that he would be at the hotel at nine o'clock.
"Died?" interrupted Lloyd, looking fixedly at her. "But Lloyd, you mustn't take it so to heart. You couldn't have got him through. No one could at that time. He was probably dying when you were sent for. We must all lose a case now and then." "Died?" repeated Lloyd; "Dr. Pitts wired that Mr. Ferriss died?" "Yes; it was to prevent my coming out there uselessly.
When Spurgeon died, a publisher telegraphed Dr. Conwell if he would write a biography of the great London preacher. Dr. Conwell was traveling at the time in the West, lecturing. He wired an affirmative, and sent for his private secretary.
As he reached the door at the far end of the room, Honor fled after him. "Read those, dear," she said breathlessly, thrusting a letter and telegram into his hand. "They will account for this morning. I had bad news. But thank God it's all right now. I wired." "And never told me?" "You were so happy. How could I?" "Then that was why you bolted?" "Yes. I couldn't have kept it up for long."
He held it in a patch of the electric light between the dancing leaf shadows and read: "Plot Number Two approved. Have wired one hundred thousand to Kent's order Security Bank.

This need had had twenty minutes, the afternoon before, to find out where it stood, and the time was fully accounted for by the charm of the demonstration. He had arrived at Euston at five, having wired her from Liverpool the moment he landed, and she had quickly decided to meet him at the station, whatever publicity might attend such an act.
I went down to the Albert Dock and found that she had been taken down the river by the early tide this morning, homeward bound to Savannah. I wired to Gravesend and learned that she had passed some time ago, and as the wind is easterly I have no doubt that she is now past the Goodwins and not very far from the Isle of Wight."

Cicely and Merry were having a long, confidential chat together. They were in Merry's bedroom. They had dismissed their maid. They were talking of the pleasures of the day, and in particular were discussing the delightful fact that their beautiful cousin Aneta had wired to say she would be with them in two days' time. They had not seen Aneta for some years, but they both remembered her vividly.
On the following day, the day of the inquest, I wired little more than an abstract of the proceedings in the coroner's court, of which a verbatim report was made at my request by other representatives of the Record.
