It was a day or two before the afternoon on which Joe Musgrave had picked up that little bit of rather senile gossip with regard to the trivial happening at Sinister House from General Goldsworthy, and Beaucaire was giving a select party in his luxurious flat.
It was the evening of the day, some time after dinner, and three men sat down to the card table to have what Beaucaire called a friendly game of poker. There were himself and Prince Phasy, and the party was made up by a young subaltern of the Royal Guards in the person of one Holt-Stridge.
