Question: CHAPTER VIII 

And these two, as I have told you, Were the friends of Hiawatha, Chibiabos, the musician, And the very strong man, Kwasind. --Hiawatha 

Torpenhow was paging the last sheets of some manuscript, while the Nilghai, who had come for chess and remained to talk tactics, was reading through the first part, commenting scornfully the while. 

"It's picturesque enough and it's sketchy," said he; "but as a serious consideration of affairs in Eastern Europe, it's not worth much." 

"It's off my hands at any rate. . . . Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine slips altogether, aren't there? That should make between eleven and twelve pages of valuable misinformation. Heigh-ho!" Torpenhow shuffled the writing together and hummed-- 

'Young lambs to sell, young lambs to sell, If I'd as much money as I could tell, I never would cry, Young lambs to sell!'" 

Dick entered, self-conscious and a little defiant, but in the best of tempers with all the world. 

"Back at last?" said Torpenhow. 

"More or less. What have you been doing?" 

"Work. Dickie, you behave as though the Bank of England were behind you. Here's Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday gone and you haven't done a line. It's scandalous." 

"The notions come and go, my children--they come and go like our 'baccy," he answered, filling his pipe. "Moreover," he stooped to thrust a spill into the grate, "Apollo does not always stretch his----Oh, confound your clumsy jests, Nilghai!" 

"This is not the place to preach the theory of direct inspiration," said the Nilghai, returning Torpenhow's large and workmanlike bellows to their nail on the wall. "We believe in cobblers" wax. La!--where you sit down."  1. Who was paging?

Question: CHAPTER X 

Van Teyl, as he hastened forward to meet his friend, presented at first sight a very good type of the well-groomed, athletic young American. He was over six feet tall, with smooth, dark hair brushed back from his forehead, a strong, clean-shaven face and good features. Only, as he drew nearer, there was evident a slight, unnatural quivering at the corner of his lips. The cordiality of his greeting, too, was a little overdone. 

"Welcome home, Fischer! Why, man, you're looking fine. Had a pleasant voyage?" 

"Storms for the first few days--after that all right," Fischer replied. 

"Any submarines?" 

"Not a sight of one. Seen your sister yet?" 

"Not yet. I've been waiting about for a telephone message. She hadn't arrived, a few minutes ago." 

Fischer frowned. 

"I want us three to meet--you and she and I--the first moment she sets foot in the hotel," he declared. 

"What's the hurry?" Van Teyl demanded. "You must have seen plenty of her the last ten days." 

"That," Fischer insisted, "was a different matter. See here, Jimmy, I'll be frank with you." 

He walked to the door of the bedroom, opened it, and looked inside. Its sole occupant was Nikasti, who was at the far end, putting away some clothes. Fischer closed the door firmly and returned. 

"I want you to understand this, James," he began. "Your sister is meddling in certain things she'd best leave alone." 

Van Teyl lit a cigarette. 

"No use talking to me," he observed. "Pamela's her own mistress, and she's gone her own way ever since she came of age."  1. HOw tall was Van?
