Tom turned to Regnier. “Do you know, Dick, what happened to your head?”
“Sh,” said Dorothy, looking quickly at Regnier.
Regnier smiled as he saw her movement. “You needn’t worry, Dorothy. I shall be very glad to tell you all I can.” He turned to Tom. “I think the injury to my head came from the man who stopped all war.”

Regnier nodded quietly. “I mean that I believe my memory was deliberately taken from me by the man who stopped all war, when he found I was on the track of his secret. But it’s rather a long story, and it’s well on towards morning. Shall we have it now, or put off the tale till to-morrow?”
“To-night, by all means,” answered Tom. “That is, providing you feel up to it.”
“I feel perfectly fit now,” said Regnier, “so if you all want to hear it, I’ll go back to the very beginning and tell it all.”
