it. Now listen. I cannot come home to-night. It will be announced in
Paul's House in two hours from now. We are communicating with the Press.
Come up here to me at once. You must be present. … Can you hear?"
"Oh, yes."
"Come then at once. It will be the greatest thing in history. Tell no one. Come before the rush begins. In half-an-hour the way will be stopped."
"Oliver."
"Yes? Quick."
"Mother is ill. Shall I leave her?"
"How ill?"
"Oh, no immediate danger. The doctor has seen her."
There was silence for a moment.
"Yes; come then. We will go back to-night anyhow, then. Tell her we shall be late."
"Very well."
" … Yes, you must come. Felsenburgh will be there."
