I should imagine, perhaps, that you are one of them." Inspector Jacks shook his head.
"I call myself a strong man," he said, "and I couldn't have believed that anything of the sort would have happened to me." "I shouldn't worry about it," the Prince said gently.

"Go and see your doctor, if you like, but I have known many people, perfectly healthy, affected in the same way.

I understood that you wished to have a word with me.

Do you feel well enough to enter upon your business now, or would you prefer to make another appointment ?" "I am feeling quite well again, thank you," the Inspector said slowly.
"If you could spare me a few minutes, I should be glad to explain the matter which brought me here." The Prince merely glanced at his servant, who bowed and glided noiselessly from the room.

Then he drew an easy chair to the side of the couch where Mr.Jacks was still sitting.
"I am very much interested to meet you, Mr.Inspector Jacks," he remarked, with a glance at the card which he was still holding in his fingers.
