Mr Francis Beveridge, as supplied by the obtiging candour of theB aron von Blitzenberg and the notes of Dr Escott, Dr Twiddel and his friend Robert Welsh make a kind of explanatory entry. They most effectually set the ball a-rolling, and so the story starts in a small room looking out on a very uninteresting London street. It was about three oclock on aN ovember afternoon, that season of fogs and rains and mud, when townspeople long for fresh air and hillsides, and country-folk think wistfully of the warmth and lights of a city, when nobody is satisfied, and everybody has a cold. Outside the window of the room there were a few feet of earth adorned with a low bush or two, a line of railings, a stonepaved street, and on the other side a long row of uniform yellow brick houses. The apartment itself was a modest chamber, containing a minimum of rented furniture and a flickering gas-stove. By a small easeful of medical treatises and a conspicuous stethoscope, the least experienced could see that it was labelled consulting-room.
