'Cablegram received.
'KENYON.'
'Well, that's all right,' said Wentworth; 'now I shall cable that we have the money, and advise him to identify himself at the bank, so that there can be no formalities about the drawing of it, to detain him.'
Saying this, Wentworth pulled the telegraph-forms towards him, and, after considerable labour, managed to concoct a satisfactory despatch.
'Don't spare money on it,' urged his visitor; 'be sure and make it plain to him.'
'I think that will do, don't you?'
'Yes,' she answered, after reading the despatch; 'that will do.'
'Now,' she said, 'here is the cheque. Shall I wait here while you do all that is necessary to cable the money, or had I better go, and return again to see if everything is all right?'
'If you don't mind, just sit where you are. You may lock this door, if you like, and you will not be disturbed.'
It was an hour before Wentworth returned, but his face was radiant.
