The men gathered round to lift it. Ralph stooped down and peeped under as they did so. "Hurrah!" he shouted, "there is an opening here." Several of the others now got hold of the stone.
It soon transpires that the speculative proprietors have conceived the bright idea of utilizing me as an attraction to draw customers to their place of business. Two men are stationed at the door with clubs, and admittance is only granted to likely-looking people who have money to spend on water-pipes and tea.
