that Mr. Guglielmo Marconi is not
the only one who is entitled TO write o. {.

For three days-three long; oh, such long,
weary days-I sat IN the Waiting Garden Of

and sleep at stated intervals.
At the end Of that time Mr.. Marconis
recretary appeared. He said:

but you must promise me not TO stay longer
than fifteen minutes"
I promised, unhesitatingly.
In a little while he returned
I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to
make it ten minutes"
7 promised hesitatingly.

can give you but five minutes with Mr.
Marconi. He's frightfully busy. Promise
me you won't stay longer"
