Chapter XIV
“No, Mannering,” said Dr. Roland, “I can’t say that you may go back to the Museum in a week. I don’t know when you will be up to going. I should think you had a good right to a long holiday after working there for so many years.” “Not so many years,” said Mr. Mannering, “since the long break which you know of, Roland.” “In the interest of science,” cried the doctor.
