"Bring me tea and brandy," he ordered peremptorily.
"Yes, sir."
"Is your master up?"
"Yes, sir."
"Has any one seen him this morning?"
"No, sir. Madam Hofmann's maid was here three times."
"What for?" Millar demanded quickly.
"She wished to know when Madam Hofmann might see Mr. Karl. I told her I had strict orders not to call him before 3 o'clock."
Millar looked at his watch and saw that it was a few minutes after 3 o'clock.
"Humph! We shall have another visitor shortly," he muttered. "I think I begin to see the completion of my work. It shall be this afternoon. Get my tea," he added to Heinrich, "and serve it in the studio."
