"This is Pandora's box, Staff! With something better than Hope at the bottom: Certainty!" He laughed quietly, confidently, and his bright eyes flashed under their dark brows from one to the other.
"Murray has just arrived, Falconer, with the good news!" he took out the gold chain to which the key of the despatch box was fastened, and inserted it in the lock.

"The good news, Staff! I haven't bothered and bored you with details; but you know, my dear boy, that I have had a big scheme on hand for some time past--a very big scheme.
