It had rained all night, one of the summer rains that, beginning in
a thunder-storm in Washington, had continued in a steaming drizzle
until morning. There were only four passengers in the sleeper, men
all of them-two in adjoining sections in the middle of the car, a
third in the drawing-room, a fourth an intermittent occupant of a
berth at the end. They had gone to bed unaware of the estate or
circumstance of their fellow-travellers, and had waked to find the
train delayed by washouts, and side-tracked until more could be
learned of the condition of the road. The man in the drawing-room
shone, in the few glimpses that the others had of him, with an
effulgence which was dazzling. His valet, the intermittent sleeper
in the end berth, was a smug little soul, with a small nose which
pointed to the stars. When the door of the compartment opened to
admit breakfast there was the radiance of a brocade dressing-gown,
the shine of a sleek head, the staccato of an imperious voice.
