'The handwriting seems to be the same as that on the wrapper.' Mr.Van Torp first compared the address, and then proceeded to read the anonymous letter.

Logotheti watched his face quietly, but it did not change in the least.

When he had finished, he folded the sheet, replaced it in the envelope, and returned it with the bit of paper.
'Much obliged,' he said, and he looked out of the window again and was silent.
Logotheti leaned back in his chair as he put the papers into his pocket again, and presently, as Mr.Van Torp did not seem inclined to say anything more, he rose to go.

The American did not move, and still looked out of the window.
'You originally belonged to the East, Mr.Logotheti, didn't you ?' he asked suddenly.
'Yes.

I'm a Greek and a Turkish subject.' 'Do you happen to know the Patriarch of Constantinople ?' Logotheti stared in surprise, taken off his guard for once.
'Very well indeed,' he answered after an instant.
