CHAPTER SEVEN

Could you recognize him--I mean, a photograph of him?
Is this the man ?" Spargo knew from the expression of Mrs.Walters' face that she had no more doubt than Webster had.
"Oh, yes!" she said.

"That's the gentleman who came in with Mr.
Marbury--I should have known him in a thousand.

Anybody would recognize him from that--perhaps you'd let our hall-porter and the waiter I mentioned just now look at it ?" "I'll see them separately and see if they've ever seen a man who resembles this," replied Spargo.
The two men recognized the photograph at once, without any prompting, and Spargo, after a word or two with the landlady, rode off to the Atlantic and Pacific Club, and found Ronald Breton awaiting him on the steps.

He made no reference to his recent doings, and together they went into the house and asked for Mr.Aylmore.
Spargo looked with more than uncommon interest at the man who presently came to them in the visitors' room.

He was already familiar with Mr.
Aylmore's photograph, but he never remembered seeing him in real life; the Member for Brookminster was one of that rapidly diminishing body of legislators whose members are disposed to work quietly and unobtrusively, doing yeoman service on committees, obeying every behest of the party whips, without forcing themselves into the limelight or seizing every opportunity to air their opinions.
