He was interrupted by a knock at the door. George rose and opened it. “What is it, Timms?”
“Mr. Gerald, sir, wants to see you on important business.”
“Is he in his room?”
“Yes, sir. I told him you were engaged.”
“You didn’t tell him Mrs. Witt was here?”
“No, sir.”
“Say I’ll be with him in a few minutes.”
George shut the door, and said, “Gerald’s here, and wants to see me.”
“Gerald! Then he has got the letter!”
