The story spread over the ship. It was a fine joke that Mr. Know-
All had been caught out. But Mrs. Ramsay went to her cabin with a
headache.
Next morning I got up and began to shave. Suddenly I saw a letter
pushed under the door. I opened the door and looked out. There was
nobody there. I picked up the letter and saw that it was addressed to Mr.
Kelada. I handed it to him. He took out of the envelope a hundred-dollar
note. He looked at me and reddened. "Were the pearls real?" I asked. "If
I had a pretty little wife I shouldn't let her spend a year in New York
while I stayed at Kobe," said he.
