He first asked Mr.Rasselyer-Brown for a few hours' leave of absence to attend the funeral of his mother in-law.

This was a request which Mr.Rasselyer-Brown, on principle, never refused to a man-servant.
Whereupon, the Philippine chauffeur, no longer attired as one, visited the residence of Mr.Yahi-Bahi.

He let himself in with a marvellous little key which he produced from a very wonderful bunch of such.

He was in the house for nearly half an hour, and when he emerged, the notebook in his breast pocket, had there been an eye to read it, would have been seen to be filled with stranger details in regard to Oriental mysticism than even Mr.Yahi-Bahi had given to the world.

So strange were they that before the Philippine chauffeur returned to the Rasselyer-Brown residence he telegraphed certain and sundry parts of them to New York.
