"A Belgian waiter, was it not?
He has been taken away by a lady this afternoon." "Taken away ?" Thomson repeated, puzzled.
"The lady who was giving the luncheon--Lady Anselman--called and saw the manager about an hour ago," the man explained.

"She has interested herself very much in the matter of Belgian refugees and is entertaining a great many of them at a house of hers near the seaside.

The man is really not fit to work, so we were very glad indeed to pass him on to her." "He recovered consciousness before he was removed, I suppose ?" Thomson inquired.
"I believe so, sir.

He seemed very weak and ill, though.

In fact he had to be carried to the automobile." "I suppose he didn't give any reason for his sudden attack ?" "None that I am aware of, sir." Thomson stood for a moment deep in thought, then he turned away from the desk.
"Thank you very much indeed," he said to the clerk.
