I want each of you in turn (arrange by a sign between yourselves which is to begin) to take my hand, and hold it for a moment, and then drop it.

I have an idea that I can distinguish between you, in that way--and I want very much to try it." The brothers went silently to the other end of the room.

I led Lucilla, after them, to the place in which they stood.

At my suggestion, Nugent was the first to take her hand, as she had requested; to hold it for a moment, and then to drop it.
"Nugent!" she said, without the slightest hesitation.
"Quite right," I answered.
She laughed gaily.

"Go on! Puzzle me if you possibly can." The brothers noiselessly changed places.
