"Well?"
"Do you see this letter?"
"Yes."
"Whom do you think it's from?"
"How do I know?"
"Well," said Jack, "this letter is the sequel to that conversation you and I had, which ended in our row."
"The sequel?"
"Yes. You remember that I left threatening that Number Three should be mine."
"Oh, yes; but don't bother about that now," said I.
"Bother about it? Man alive, that's the very thing that I have to do!
The bother, as you call it, has just begun. This letter is from Number
Three."
