The
bell
rang
furiously
and
,
when
Miss
Parker
went
to
the
tube
,
a
furious
voice
called
out
in
a
piercing
North
of
Ireland
accent
:
532
"
Send
Farrington
here
!
"
533
Miss
Parker
returned
to
her
machine
,
saying
to
a
man
who
was
writing
at
a
desk
:

"
Mr.
Alleyne
wants
you
upstairs
.
"
535
The
man
muttered
"
Blast
him
!
"
under
his
breath
and
pushed
back
his
chair
to
stand
up
.
When
he
stood
up
he
was
tall
and
of
great
bulk
.
He
had
a
hanging
face
,
dark
wine-coloured
,
with
fair
eyebrows
and
moustache
:
his
eyes
bulged
forward
slightly
and
the
whites
of
them
were
dirty
.
He
lifted
up
the
counter
and
,
passing
by
the
clients
,
went
out
of
the
office
with
a
heavy
step
.
536
He
went
heavily
upstairs
until
he
came
to
the
second
landing
,
where
a
door
bore
a
brass
plate
with
the
inscription
Mr.
Alleyne
.
Here
he
halted
,
puffing
with
labour
and
vexation
,
and
knocked
.
The
shrill
voice
cried
:
537
"
Come
in
!

The
man
entered
Mr.
Alleyne
's
room
.
Simultaneously
Mr.
Alleyne
,
a
little
man
wearing
gold-rimmed
glasses
on
a
cleanshaven
face
,
shot
his
head
up
over
a
pile
of
documents
.
The
head
itself
was
so
pink
and
hairless
it
seemed
like
a
large
egg
reposing
on
the
papers
.
Mr.
Alleyne
did
not
lose
a
moment
:
539
"
Farrington
?
What
is
the
meaning
of
this
?
Why
have
I
always
to
complain
of
you
?
May
I
ask
you
why
you
have
n't
made
a
copy
of
that
contract
between
Bodley
and
Kirwan
?
I
told
you
it
must
be
ready
by
four
o'clock
.

But
Mr.
