Chapter XXIII
Philip fetched his hat, and the two men stepped out on to the pavement. A servant in quiet grey livery held open the door of an enormous motor car. Sylvanus Power beckoned his companion to precede him. "Home," he told the man, "unless," he added, turning to Philip, "you'd rather go to your rooms?" "I am quite indifferent," Philip replied.
