The opening

How “The Secret of Chimneys” begins

Castle’s Select Tour, represented by seven depressed-looking females and three perspiring males, looked on with considerable interest.

Evidently their Mr. Cade had met an old friend.

They all admired Mr. Cade so much, his tall lean figure, his suntanned face, the lighthearted manner with which he settled disputes and cajoled them all into good temper.

This friend of his now—surely rather a peculiar-looking man.
