Phil went back to his room to dinner fairly well satisfied. He felt quite sure of the fact that he was much further advanced than Sparrow.
He had nothing definite to go upon, of course, but he was putting a very pretty theory together. Possibly a further perusal of the story might enlighten him. He read it again with a strange feeling that it was not finished. There were gaps here and there, especially in one place, as if the writer had meant to make it longer, then changed his mind. Clever as it was as a work of art, it lacked balance. At least two more chapters were needed to make it perfect in the eyes of a good editorial critic.
