Chapter XXII
WAITING! Mr. Andrew Levison lived in Jermyn Street. His establishment was comfortable, but modest. A sitting-room, a small dining-room, a bedroom for himself, and one for his man--these, together with the bath-room, completed his suite. It was a bright morning as he opened his _Daily Wire_ and sat down before the kedjeree and kidneys that his servant had just brought him for breakfast.
