were utterly incapable of emotion; and
he sat at Allison's table in thick

There are about to begin interna-

which is likely to embroil the whole

Australia, and in a dozen other quar-

You seem to be accurately in

man, studying interestedly the glow

Allison drew some sheets of paper

all on scale so gigantic that both
gentlemen went over every item with
the imaginative minds of poets. In
