The
boy
departed
,
leaving
a
thick
envelope
of
yellow
paper
in
Annixter
’
s
hands
,
the
address
typewritten
,
the
word
“
Urgent
”
written
in
blue
pencil
in
one
corner
.
Annixter
tore
it
open
.
The
envelope
contained
other
sealed
envelopes
,
some
eight
or
ten
of
them
,
addressed
to
Magnus
Derrick
,
Osterman
,
Broderson
,
Garnett
,
Keast
,
Gethings
,
Chattern
,
Dabney
,
and
to
Annixter
himself
.
Still
puzzled
,
Annixter
distributed
the
envelopes
,
muttering
to
himself
:
“
What
’
s
up
now
?
”
The
incident
had
attracted
attention
.
A
comparative
quiet
followed
,
the
guests
following
the
letters
with
their
eyes
as
they
were
passed
around
the
table
.
They
fancied
that
Annixter
had
arranged
a
surprise
.
Magnus
Derrick
,
who
sat
next
to
Annixter
,
was
the
first
to
receive
his
letter
.
With
a
word
of
excuse
he
opened
it
.
“
Read
it
,
read
it
,
Governor
,
”
shouted
a
half
-
dozen
voices
.
“
No
secrets
,
you
know
.
Everything
above
board
here
to
-
night
.
”
Magnus
cast
a
glance
at
the
contents
of
the
letter
,
then
rose
to
his
feet
and
read
:
Magnus
Derrick
,
Bonneville
,
Tulare
Co
.
,
Cal
.
