informed me, but he was consid- crably upset. He said it was im- perntive for him to see you, sir.”*
"It's always Imperative for him to see me." Steven grumbled. "This time he'll have to wait until morn- iny. We'll stop at his oflice before we anil."
"Very well, sir."
Fergus was gone with one curi- ous, sidewise glance at Ellen-a fleeting glauce that seemed to the girl to convey contempt and con demuation, as if Fergus thought she had no right to be sitting at Steven Barclay's table.

He had seated himself in her golden living room. She knew he meant that she should sit beside him, but she was too restless to do anything except stand. She moved about nervously in a state of ex- eitement which she tried to con- ceal.
