“Lord love ’im!” exclaimed that functionary, stalking to the door withas much haste as his dignity would permit. “Why doesn’t ’e stop ringing?I ’eard ’im the first time, without ’im keeping the blooming bell goingall the time.” Then, as he reached the door and made for the stairs, hecontinued grumblingly: “All right, Mr. Anderton. I ’ear you. Youcertainly are a most impatient gentleman. I never seed anything like youfor ’urrying a man, not even in the old country. Though the Marquis ofSilsby—my last master before I left England—was a ’asty sort ofgentleman, too. This was the way ’e always acted. Wanted me to be righton the spot as soon as he touched the bell, although ’e knew very well Iwas two floors below ’im. My word! That bell’s still ringing. I can ’earit from up ’ere.”

The butler, by this time, was on the second floor of the handsome housein upper Fifth Avenue, where Andrew Anderton, the millionaire travelerand Oriental student, lived. He pushed open the door of the study.
