[Dross by Henry Seton Merriman]@TWC D-Link bookDross CHAPTER XVII 3/12
Opening on this yard are three doors, and that immediately opposite to the porch gives entrance to the department where gold and silver are exchanged for notes. As I descended from the cab I looked through the porch, and there, across the courtyard, I saw the back of a man who was pushing his way through the swing doors.
Charles Miste again! I paid the cabman, and noting the inches of the two porters in their gorgeous livery, reflected with some satisfaction that Monsieur Miste would have to reckon with three fairly heavy men before he got out of the courtyard. There are two swing doors leading into the bank, and the man passing in there glanced back as he crossed the second threshold, giving me, however, naught but the momentary gleam of a white face.
Arrived in the large room I looked quickly around it.
Two men were changing money, a third bent over the table to sign a note.
None of these could be Charles Miste.
