"On Early Rising
That amiable youth, Jimmy Thesiger, came racing down the big staircase at Chimneys two steps at a time. So precipitate was his descent that he collided with Tredwell, the stately butler, just as the latter was crossing the hall bearing a fresh supply of hot coffee. Owing to the marvellous presence of mind and masterly agility of Tredwell, no casualty occurred.
"Sorry," apologized Jimmy. "I say, Tredwell, am I the last down?"
"No, sir, Mr. Wade has not come down yet."
"Good," said Jimmy, and entered the breakfast-room."
