"And so you come from New York?" Sinclair repeated, for the want of something better to say.
"When did you leave the city, may I ask?"
"On Tuesday."
"Then you came directly here?"
"Yes, I came directly here."
"You must then have heard of St. Victor before starting."
"Yes."
"Yet I fancy it is so obscure that its existence can be known to very few in the great city."
"I presume you are right. I was recommended to come here by a friend."
"Ah!" commented James Sinclair, beginning to think he was right, though it seemed to him very strange that Mr. Wainwright should have selected so young a messenger. "I should like to see New York once more."
