Once it had been determined that the secrecy of Sir Eric Roding's return to life should be no longer maintained, Larose had insisted that the publicity must be as full and immediate as possible. So, acting upon his advice, the same morning upon which the baronet had interviewed his men of law he had also approached an acquaintance of his, the editor of the Daily Messenger, and laid everything before him, in order that with no delay the public should learn in one telling all they were going to be told.
Of course, as could only have been expected, the announcement caused a tremendous sensation everywhere, but, happily for Sir Eric and Lady Roding, within forty-eight hours the intense public interest was suddenly switched off into quite a different direction by the news coming through of the assassination of one of the world's foremost dictators.
