Over that breakfast table I told the two ladies the whole story, from niy tweeting with Quartervayne on the Clarence Pier to my finding myself on the top of Chilverton Downs. I spared no detail, telling then by word of mouth what'I have here set out in veriting. The telling produced differ- ent effects in each listened. : • Miss Hepple, who, lateron, admitted: to me that she loved sensational fi tion, was .amazed to, find that things ac iiallly happen in real life which are at Ieast. as strange as :those imagined by the professional sidry-teller;; she took the whole in with zest and appetite ?tut Miss Martson's interest wag of a prac tical sort; I saw that she was putt - ire two and two together, reel -oiling shances, spectilratieg on probabilities; the more I told, the more teoughtfal she became.

"Or, if it's the end, it's merely' the end of the first chapter., Of course, the thing has only begun. Curtain on Act One—that's where you've got to. Next—Act two."
