"Under the seat inside, no doubt," answered Lafleur. "Then I may consider the business agreed upon between us?"
"As good as done, almost," said the Buffer.
At this moment the conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door.
The waiter entered, and whispered something to the Buffer.
"By God, how fortunate!" ejaculated this individual, his countenance suddenly assuming an expression of the most unfeigned joy. "Show him up—this minute!"
The waiter disappeared.
"Who is it?" demanded Lafleur.
"The very person we are in want of! He has turned up again:—that feller has as many lives as a cat."
"But who is it?" repeated Lafleur impatiently.
Before the Buffer could answer the question, the door was thrown open, and the Resurrection Man entered the room.
