Christopher got up to go. He gave Arkwright his card. "Come in and dine one night and tell me all you're doing——"
"Of course I'll come," Arkwright said. "Only you're much too busy——"
"Indeed no," said Christopher. "One day next week you'll hear from me——"
Breton got up. "I'll come with you," he said to Christopher.
The two men went away together.
When they were gone Arkwright said to Brun, "Now that's the kind of man I like——"
"Yes," said Brun, laughing. "Better than the other fellow, eh?"
Arkwright smiled. "More my sort, I must confess."
