Chapter XIV
Phipps received his visitor with a genial smile and outstretched hand. "Delighted to see you, Mr. Wingate," he said heartily. "Take a chair, please. I do not know whether you smoke in the mornings, but these Cabanas," he added, opening the box, "are extraordinarily mild and I think quite pleasant." Wingate refused both the chair and the cigars and appeared not to notice the outstretched hand.
