Overview

"""A GENTLEMAN to see you, Doctor."" From across the common a clock sounded the half-hour. ""Ten-thirty!"" I said. ""A late visitor. Show him up, if you please."" I pushed my writing aside and tilted the lamp-shade, as footsteps sounded on the landing. The next moment I had jumped to my feet, for a tall, lean man, with his square-cut, clean-shaven face sun-baked to the hue of coffee, entered and extended both hands, with a cry: ""Good old Petrie! Didn't expect me, I'll swear!"" It was Nayland Smith-whom I had thought to be in Burma! ""Smith,"" I said, and gripped his hands hard, ""this is a delightful surprise! Whatever-however-"" ""Excuse me, Petrie!"" he broke in. ""Don't put it down to the sun!"" And he put out the lamp, plunging the room into darkness. I was too surprised to speak."
