"What do you mean?"
"Simply this--as he does not know when or where he'll be re-incarnated, he has left a number of blanks in the letter."
"Have you seen the letter?"
"Of course I have. I know where the paper is hidden--didn't I tell you I'd discovered his secret. Well, all I've got to do is to fill up these blanks--the name of the mother, the place of the supposed son's birth, and all the rest of it."
"I see. But what have I to do with this?"
Beaumont arose to his feet and walked angrily to and fro.
"What an idiot you are, Patience," he said irritably. "Can't you see? I'm going to fill up the mother's name as Fanny Blake, and the son's as Reginald."
"Our son?"
"Precisely. Now do you see why I want your help?"
"I do, but you shan't have it."
