entered the gaily lighted dining-room.
Seton Pasha moved one of the lights so as to illuminate a small oil
painting which hung above the sideboard. It represented the head and
shoulders of a savage-looking red man, his hair close-cropped like that
of a pugilist, and his moustache trimmed in such a fashion that a row of
large, fierce teeth were revealed in an expression which might have been
meant for a smile. A pair of intolerant steel-blue eyes looked squarely
out at the spectator.
"What a time I had," said Seton, "to get him to sit for that! But I
managed to secure his wife's support, and the trick was done. You are
down to toast Kismet, Margaret, but I am going to propose the health,
long life and prosperity of Chief Inspector Kerry, of the Criminal
Investigation Department."
