STORMY INTERVIEW
fllfHAT do jrou mean!" 1 asked.
"Are you suggesting thai
people still think I'm guilty!"
"No, no." He raised bis hand.
"I don't go as far as that 1 am
merely pointing out to you, tn your
own Interest, Nicholas, that If you
attempt to resume your former life
you must be prepared to encounter
a good deal of unpleasantness."
1 thought of the young man In the
teashop. "It wouldn't surprise
me." 1 observed. "As Cresswell says,
there are always a certain number
of fools about who enjoy being
malicious."
Seymour moved uncomfortably
In bis chair. "I am afraid that things
are even more difficult than you
Imagine. It Is very painful for me
to have to tell you so, but the
general attitude amongst well,
amongst people who really matter-
Is such that any successful career
for you In this country will be prac
tlcally out of the question."
I put down my glass. "Whom are
you referring to?" 1 Inquired. "The
Prime Minister and the Archbishop
of Canterbury?"
"I am speaking In absolute seri
ousness. I had an Interview yester
day with Lord Redland, who, as you
know, la chairman of the Royal
United Arts. He was very upset
about It all, and as considerate as
he could possibly be, but be assured
me that. In view of the feeling tn
the club, It was absolutely essential
that you should send In your reslg
nation. Otherwise the committee
will expel you."
"Indeed!" I said slowly. "And
what do you propose to do about It?
You put me up: In fact, you Insisted
upon my Joining the place."
He shrugged his shoulders. "My
dear Nicholas what can I do? As
a member of the Government, J
possess a. certain amount of Influ
ence, but . , ."
"DDT you naturally don't wish to
exercise It on behalf of a dls
credited relation?" 1 helped myself
to a clgarot from a box on the table.
"Well, as far as I'm concerned," 1
added, "the Royal United Arts can
go to the devil. 1 don't car In the
least whethor they expel me or not
You can tell Redland so. with my
compliments.
"It Is useless to take that line
The committee have only acted as
any responsible publlo body would
have beon compelled to do In the
circumstances. I hare been In
formed, for Instance, on the best
authority, that although the design
you submitted to the Board of
Works was regarded as exception
ally clover, there Is not the smallest
chance of your being offered the
commission. If such a thing were
even suggested there would be pro
tests from all over the country."
I laughed a trifle bitterly. "I ex
pert there would." 1 laid. "What the
public really appreciate Is some
thing like the Albert Memorial."
"I am atrald that It's hardly an
occasion for Joking." He got up
from his chair and walked over to
the hearth-rug. "For your own sake
I Implore you to listen to reason. No
one In your position can afford to
set himself up against publlo opin
ion. I warn you that If you attempt
to do so the rosulta will be disas
trous. All your rospectable friends
III cut you, you will got no work,
and you will be unable to earn a
living. In six months time, when It
Is too late, you will be cursing your
self for not having accepted my ad
vice." I looked at htm thoughtfully. This
outburst of eloquence was so for
eign to his character that 1 couldn't
help wondering what lay behind It.
"Well, let's hear your advice." I
said. "So far you've done nothing
but prophesy."
He came back to his former seat.
"There is only one thing to be done.
You must loave England and make
a fresh start In some other country
After all. you are still quite young
anil abilities such a youra are
bound to bring you to the front.
Here It would be quite hopeless for
you. hut In America or r'rance 1
am assuming, of course, that you
will change your name I see no
rcs?on why you shouldn't build
yourself up a most successful ca
roer. If you are willing to adopt this
suggestion 1, .
to assist you."
IN A sudden Illuminating flash 1
perceived clearly enough what
Seymour was driving at All ha
really wanted was a definite assur
ance that I would disappear. Pro
vided I was safely out of the way
tbe scandal and gossip aroused by
my trial would luon begin to die
down, and In a little while tbe unfor
tunate fact that 1 was first cousin
to a rising and ambitious politician
would have faded conveniently
from the public memory. For a mo
ment 1 was almost too amused to be
angry.
"How do you propose to assist
me?" I Inquired.
"In the way which will be most
useful. 1 don't know exactly bow
you aro situated, but 1 should Im
agine that most of tbe capital you
have will be swallowed up by the
costs of your flnfencn. Well- I am not
a rich man far from It but at tbe

"Well, left hear your advice," laid
Nicholas.
same time I am prepared to act ai
goucrousty as I can. If you will be
sensible enough to do as 1 suggest
I will send Crcssweit a cheque for
tha wholo of your Ingnl expenses.
The only stipulation 1 make Is that
In order to Rlvo yourself a fair
clinnce you will er abandon the
namo of Trnnch and loare Kngland
at once."
I fought back a- sudden Intense
longing to kick htm round the room.
"You've quite finished?" I in
quired pleasantly. "You're sure
thcru'a nothing else you wnnt to
say?"
lie shook bis head. "I think that
covers everything."
"Well, 1 doutr I threw the
stump of my ctgaret into the fire

I'm most in need of a little hotp and
