Only
for
a
second
,
but
it
was
enough
to
make
my
heart
jump
.
I
had
never
seen
the
great
man
before
,
and
he
had
never
seen
me
.
But
in
that
fraction
of
time
something
sprang
into
his
eyes
,
and
that
something
was
recognition
.
You
ca
n't
mistake
it
.
It
is
a
flicker
,
a
spark
of
light
,
a
minute
shade
of
difference
which
means
one
thing
and
one
thing
only
.
It
came
involuntarily
,
for
in
a
moment
it
died
,
and
he
passed
on
.
In
a
maze
of
wild
fancies
I
heard
the
street
door
close
behind
him
.
I
picked
up
the
telephone
book
and
looked
up
the
number
of
his
house
.
We
were
connected
at
once
,
and
I
heard
a
servant
's
voice
.
"
Is
his
Lordship
at
home
?
"
I
asked
.
"
His
Lordship
returned
half
an
hour
ago
,
"
said
the
voice
,
"
and
has
gone
to
bed
.
He
is
not
very
well
tonight
.
Will
you
leave
a
message
,
sir
?
"
I
rang
off
and
almost
tumbled
into
a
chair
.
My
part
in
this
business
was
not
yet
ended
.
It
had
been
a
close
shave
,
but
I
had
been
in
time
.
Not
a
moment
could
be
lost
,
so
I
marched
boldly
to
the
door
of
that
back
room
and
entered
without
knocking
.
Five
surprised
faces
looked
up
from
a
round
table
.
There
was
Sir
Walter
,
and
Drew
the
War
Minister
,
whom
I
knew
from
his
photographs
.
There
was
a
slim
elderly
man
,
who
was
probably
Whittaker
,
the
Admiralty
official
,
and
there
was
General
Winstanley
,
conspicuous
from
the
long
scar
on
his
forehead
.
Lastly
,
there
was
a
short
stout
man
with
an
iron-grey
moustache
and
bushy
eyebrows
,
who
had
been
arrested
in
the
middle
of
a
sentence
.
Sir
Walter
's
face
showed
surprise
and
annoyance
.
"
This
is
Mr
Hannay
,
of
whom
I
have
spoken
to
you
,
"
he
said
apologetically
to
the
company
.
"
I
'm
afraid
,
Hannay
,
this
visit
is
ill-timed
.
"
I
was
getting
back
my
coolness
.
"
That
remains
to
be
seen
,
sir
,
"
I
said
;
"
but
I
think
it
may
be
in
the
nick
of
time
.
For
God
's
sake
,
gentlemen
,
tell
me
who
went
out
a
minute
ago
?
"
