"In any case," Mr. Fischer continued, "I shall anticipate our early meeting in New York. I heard from your brother only yesterday."
She looked at him with a slight frown.
"From James?"
Mr. Fischer nodded.
"Why, I didn't know," she observed, "that you and he were acquainted."
"I have had large transactions with his firm, and naturally I have seen a good deal of Mr. Van Teyl," the other explained. "He looks after the interests of us Western clients."
Pamela turned a little abruptly away, and Lutchester walked with her to the door.
"You will let me see that they bring your car round?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"Thank you, no," she replied, holding out her hand. "I have not yet said good-by to Captain Holderness and his sister. Good-by, Mr. Lutchester!"
