Our chauffeur slowed down to find out if we could be of any use, and as the reply was scarcely intelligible, we came to a full stop.

He dismounted to speak to the other chauffeur, and I looked curiously at the two men who were leaning back in the luxurious seats inside the car.

For a moment I could not believe my eyes! Then I opened the door of my own car and stepped quickly into the road.

The two men who were sitting there, and by whom I was as yet unobserved, were Delora and the Chinese ambassador! I walked at once up to the window of their car and knocked at it.
Delora leaned forward and recognized me at once.

His face, for a moment, seemed dark with anger.
