" ' MR. Dl'KBAB DINES OUT ' CHAPTER X TT; was not, somehow, a com- ' pffctcly successful dinner parly Vaughan Dunbar was very sub dued Indeed. ' He spent the better part of the time at the table with hfj. near-sighted eyes peering through their rimless spectacles at the plate and the glasses before 'him', and although he was pleas ant enough he. seemed, as the horsey folk themselves might have expressed it, a little off the pace of the conversation. He obviously sensed the effect that this was having upon the others, and he felt constrained to apologize. "I heard the late news before leaving the city," he said.-"It was a bit discouraging. So if I appear to be ..." Cynthia and Anne hastened to, reassure him, saying that of course they understood, and Colonel Mer rlwether asked what the news had been. "The Balkan situation," said Vaughan Dunbar. "Nothing con clusive yet, but it looks grave. Very grave." This served, as might be ex pected, to cool spirits generally. In deference to their guest, it hardly seemed appropriate to pur sue the unhappy subject And, likewise in deference, it seemed rather improper to stir up such trivialities as the new play, Fred 'West's admiration of a certain Argentine pony, or the latest tack room tattles from Broken Hill. : .' With the dessert, however, Vaughan Dunbar's mood lightened perceptibly. Making a gesture as if to say, "Come now. It is absurd to worry over events half a world away," he told an amusing anec dote about Hermann Goering. . Good humor was quite restored when Cynthia rose and led Anne into the drawing room. Colonel Merriwether showed Dunbar and Fred West into his library. It was customary, at Stone House, for Mitchell Grace to dine with the rest, but the Colonel explained that on this evening his secretary had been held by unexpectedly important work. f fHEN the three men were com ':. fortably seated and supplied with coffee and cigars and brandy, Colonel Merriwether regarded his guest with his usual degree of careful attention before he spoke. "I hope you will not mind,.' he said in.-.his-djstinct, even tones, ' if I -confess that-.I had reasons for asking .jrou. to. Join us this evening." v . ;' "Quite', the : contrary,"- said Vaughan Duhba"r; .. . . 'In. the. first". place, you remind me quite distinctly of someone'I have known; Did your father, or tin older' brother, ever visit Cali fornia or the northwest live there, perhaps?" - . Vaughan Dunbar pondered for several moments before replying. Then he said, slowly, "No. My father, certainly did not, and I have no . older brother . I was thinking of an uncle my father's brother who knocked about the world quite a bit. He was killed In South Africa, oh several years ago. Can t say whether he ever visited the west coast. I never met him after I came down from Cambridge." 'Thank you.. It was, I suppose, mistaken impression after all. Now for the second thing. I have some properties in Sweden. Can you tell me anything of the posi tion there? Do you know the atti tude of . British investors toward their Swedish holdings? Andi what is Hitler's state of mind to the matter?" - : Vaughan Dunbar leaned back and put his coffee cup on the table beside him, and regarded the tip of his cigar. . . . "I am surely no expert in such Affairs myself," he said. "But it chances that I had a chat with Sir Peter Towle just before I left London. Aro you acquainted with him?" ... "No." .' - "He has invested somewhat ex tensively in Swedish mines, and perhaps It will be useful if. I pass his opinions on to you." "I will be greatly obliged." It can be said positively of Fred West that Swedish mines were the last thing on earth upon- which he might seek enlightenment. He finished his c-ffee. He smoked his cigaret. He did not squirm or fidget because he had learned bet ter. But he was appallingly bored. And the appearance of Mitchell Gracf was a huge relief to him.. He watched Mitchell Grace pre sent certain letters for the Colonel's signature. He permitted Grace to reach the door before he spoke. Then he called, as if seized with a sudden idea, "I say, Mitchell. Could I speak, to you for a mo ment?" ' Grace waited.' Fred asked his host for permission tote excused for a moment or two. And the . t,wo..voung men walked into the big hall. . - ."Thank God," said Fred West. "For what?" ' ''For digging me out of a Swed ish iron mine. Were you ever in n Swedish iron' mine? No don't tell ' me. I never want to know anything more shout them."- . .: .... THEY went to Grace's office, and the letters ware sealed into envelopes and made ready for the post'.: Fred West lit another cigaret and lounet into a chair and fum bled for a minute with a notion that was in his head. But the best opening he could contrive was, "That guy gives me a pain. "I guess you mean Dunbar." "Who else? He acts like some body that's just made a down payment on the universe." "Britishers are like that." "Not answer enough. This guy squints at you as it you were some especially repulsive worm." "Listen, Fred." Mitchell Grace's cheeks had turned pink. "I said some pretty rough things about him myself this morning. And Incidentally about some other peo ple. 1 was talking out of turn. and I m sorry for it. I n through with setting up as judge and jury on everybody that comes along into this . . ." "Oh, file it No need to get worked up. I'm merely saying that there s something out of skew with this bird. I've got a hunch the Colonel doesn't like him a whole lot It'll suit me all right when he goes on back to wher ever he came from." "Is he going to the club to night?" "Dont know. Are you?" "If the Colonel doesn't need me. Fm getting on down to mail this stuff now." Fred West made his reluctant way back to the library. Vaughan Dunbsr s low voice still went on and the Colonel looked at him quietly. It was still Swedish mines plus transport plus cartels plus the limitless whims of Mr. i Hitler. Fred West regarded Vaughan Dunbar, and he muttered to him self. "Okay. And I still think you don't belong in this joint." At length fie Colonel nodded, waved a languid hand at Dunbar, and said, "Thank you very much. You have helped my understand- 1 THIS CURIOUS WORLD K3r IS A UIPE SIZE MOOC OP A S&?
