[The Lost Ambassador by E. Phillips Oppenheim]@TWC D-Link bookThe Lost Ambassador CHAPTER XXI 7/19
"Asks me to be civil, if I can, to some people who have been remarkably kind to him out in Brazil.
They have an estate there." I nodded. "Dicky doing all right ?" I asked. "Seems to be," Ralph answered. Dicky was our younger brother, and rather a wanderer. "What is the name of the people who are coming over ?" I asked. "Some odd name," Ralph answered,--"Delora, I think." Ralph had drawn the _Times_ towards him, and he did not notice my start.
I sat looking at him in blank amazement. "Ralph!" I said presently. My brother looked up. "Have you got Dicky's letter on you ?" I asked. He passed it over to me.
I skimmed through the first part until I came to the sentence which interested me. I have been out staying at an awfully fine estate here, right on the Pampas.
It belongs to some people called Delora.
