Sir Munt’s only comment on these exhibits was a slight pursing of the
lips. But his countenance, at all times a little heavy, grew decidedly
dour. Moreover, he ruminated exceedingly.
He was still deeply involved in the process of thought, when he was
interrupted by a fierce and sudden ring of the telephone bell.
“Yes! Yes!” said Miss Evans, receiver in hand. A moment later the Mayor
was informed that Mr. Endor, M. P., sent his compliments, and could Sir
Josiah make it convenient to see him at once if he came over from his
committee rooms at the other side of the Square.
Sir Josiah pondered the matter for a long and serious moment. And then
he said weightily: “Tell Mr. Endor I’ll see him now if he cares to nip
across.”
