The Three Wise Men sat together in their club smoking-room. They were met there for a purpose - a solemnly resolved purpose - though that fact was not to be discovered in the expression of their faces or their attitudes. The casual observer, glancing at them in that ignorant yet opiniated fashion which casual observers generally affect, would have sternly pronounced them to be idle loafers and loungers without a purpose of any sort, and only fit to be classified with the "drones" or do-nothings of the social hive. Three stalwart bodies reclined at ease in the soft depths of three roomy saddle-bag chairs; and from three cigars of the finest flavour three little spiral wreaths of pale blue smoke mounted steadily towards the ceiling. It was a fine day: the window was open, and outside roared the surging sea of human life in Piccadilly.

Other novels of mine, notably A Romance of '1wo Worlds, Thelma, Vendetta' and Ardath are to be had in various forms at all prices throughout the States; needless to say that these have been published without any reference to me as author, and, having been brought out in unseemly haste and carelessness, are full of the grossest errors and mistakes, for which I, naturally, cannot be responsible. That' the Romance of Two Worlds for example, ap 'pea1ed in New York with a misleading picture-cover representing the Eastern and Weste1 n hemispheres.
