CHAPTER I
"Return at ten-thirty," the General said to his chauffeur, and then
they entered the corridor of the hotel.
Montague gazed about him, and found himself trembling just a little
with anticipation. It was not the magnificence of the place. The
quiet uptown hotel would have seemed magnificent to him, fresh as he
was from the country; but, he did hot see the marblo columns and the
gilded carvings-he was thinking of the men he was to meet. It seemed
too much to crowd into one day-first the vision of the whirling,
seething city, the centre of all his hopes of the future; and then,
at night, this meeting, overwhelming him with the crowded memories
of everything that he held precious in the past.
There were groups of men in faded uniforms standing about in the
corridors. General Prentice bowed here and there as they retired and
took the elevator to the reception-rooms.
