CHAPTER VII.
THE EFFRONTERY OF RICHARD Hunterleys took leave of his companion as soon as they arrived at the roulette rooms.
"Take my advice, Lane," he said seriously.

"Find something to occupy your thoughts.

Throw a few hundred thousand of your dollars away at the tables, if you must do something foolish.

You'll get into far less trouble." Richard made no direct reply.

He watched Hunterleys depart and took up his place opposite the door to await his sister's arrival.
