64/96 Lives, when in city, at Hotel Gorham. If he has a fault, or rather a weakness, it is his extreme pride in the museum and his own conduct of its many affairs. He was still brooding anxiously over it when the telephone rang at his elbow and he was called up from Headquarters. Cablegrams had been received from London and Paris in acknowledgment of those sent, and in both these cablegrams promises were made of a full examination into the antecedents of Madame Duclos and her companion, Miss Willetts. No further news regarding them from any quarter. |
