After that he will begin to recover." Mr. Fentolin touched the inspector on the arm. "You see his clothing at the foot of the bed," he pointed out. "His linen is marked with his name. That is his dressing-case with his name painted on it." "I am quite satisfied, sir," the inspector announced. "I will not intrude any further." They left the room. Mr.
Hamel, this is my sister-in-law, Mrs. Seymour Fentolin." She held out her hand to him, unnaturally thin and white, covered with jewels. Again he saw something in her eyes which stirred him vaguely. "It is so nice that you are able to spend a few days with us, Mr. Hamel," she said quietly. "I am sorry that I have been too indisposed to make your acquaintance earlier." "And," Mr.
Fentolin suggested, dropping his voice, "you might very delicately, you know girls are so clever at that sort of thing-convey my views to Mr. Hamel as regards his leaving us and its effect upon your companionship. You understand me, I am sure?" For the first time she turned her head towards him. "I understand," she said, "that you have some particular reason for not wishing Mr. Hamel to leave St.
If I am not allowed to continue upon my journey at once, the consequences may be more serious than I can tell you, to you and yours, to your own country. There! I am telling you a great deal, but I want you to understand that I am in earnest. I have a mission which I must perform, and which I must perform quickly." "You are very mysterious," Mr. Fentolin murmured.
It seemed to him that there was fear there. "What did mother say?" she whispered. "Nothing discouraging," he replied. "I don't think she minded at all. I have decided, if you give me permission, to go and talk to Mr. Fentolin this evening." She shook her head very emphatically. "Don't!" she implored. "Don't! Don't give him another whip to lash us with. Keep silent.

He turned the handle of the door and entered, closing it immediately behind him.
If you will drink no more wine, let us have our coffee in the library, you and I. I want to talk to you about the Tower." Mr. Fentolin led the way to a delightful little corner of his library, where before the open grate, recently piled with hissing logs, an easy chair had been drawn. He wheeled himself up to the other side of the hearthrug and leaned back with a little air of exhaustion.
Dunster," he continued, turning his chair, "our conversation has reached a point at which I think we may safely leave it for a time. We will discuss these matters again. Take good care of Mr. Dunster, Meekins. I can see that he is a very important personage. We must be careful not to lose sight of him." Mr. Fentolin steered his chair to the door, opened it, and passed out.
Fentolin left the room. Lieutenant Godfrey was already attacking his breakfast. Gerald leaned towards him eagerly. "Is there really going to be war?" he demanded. "Ask those chaps at The Hague," Lieutenant Godfrey answered. "Doing their best to freeze us out, or something. All I know is, if there's going to be fighting, we are ready for them.
"I haven't seen much of him." "He and Esther are together a great deal, eh?" Mr. Fentolin asked quickly. "They seem to be quite friendly." "It isn't Mr. Hamel, by any chance, who has been putting these ideas into your head?" "No one has been putting any ideas into my head," Gerald answered hotly. "It's simply what I've seen and overheard.
