Have you thought of a way out? Eldred asked.

What are you going to do?
human
Lunch, Hackness said curtly.

After that I propose to see to my arrangements in Regent's Park. I've got Grimfern's aeroplane there, and a pretty theory about high explosives. The difficulty is to get the authorities to consent to the experiments. The police have absolutely forbidden experiments with high explosives, fired in the air above London. But perhaps I shall frighten them into it this time. Nothing would please me better than to see a breeze spring up, and yet on the other hand----

Then you are free to-night?
gpt
No, I'm not. Oh, there will be plenty of time. I'm going with Sir Edgar Grimfern, and his daughter to see Irving, that is if it is possible for anyone to _see_ Irving to-night. I've got the chance of a lifetime at hand, but I wish that it was well over, Eldred my boy. If you come round about midnight----

I'll be sure to, Eldred said eagerly.

I'm going to be in this thing. And I want to know all about that explosive idea.
