But won’t you remove your heavy cloak and make yourself comfortable while you are waiting? By the way, wouldn’t you like a cup of coffee after your journey?" "Yes, Mr. Rogers, thank you. If you would not mind, I should like a cup of black coffee and brandy." Nick touched a bell. It was answered by Chick, to whom Nick passed a note, saying, as he did so: "Will you please bring some coffee and brandy at once?"

Chick’s room was number 73, and had a door leading into Nick’s. When the door closed, Nick took from his pocket the hat pin which he found in Mr. Rogers’ room, and placed it on a chair close to his visitor. "Does that pin belong to you, madame?" asked he. She looked at it; then put her hand up to her hat to satisfy herself that the one there was not missing. 19 comicbooe S CO
