three o'clock
If any one had pointed out to him that an Englishman would not think it fair play to drug a man deliberately , Logotheti would have smiled and would have replied by asking whether it was fair play to accuse an innocent man of murder , a retort which would only become unanswerable if it could be proved that Van Torp was suspected unjustly . But to this objection , again , the Greek would have replied that he had been brought up in Constantinople , where they did things in that way ; and that , except for the trifling obstacle of the law , there was no particular reason for not strangling Mr. Feist with the English equivalent for a bowstring , since he had printed a disagreeable story about Miss Donne , and was , besides , a very offensive sort of person in appearance and manner . There had always been a certain directness about Logotheti 's view of man 's rights . He went to see Mr. Feist every day at three o'clock , in the most kind way possible , made himself as agreeable as he could , and gave him cigarettes with a good deal of opium in them . He also presented Feist with a pretty little asbestos lamp which was constructed to purify the air , and had a really wonderful capacity for absorbing the rather peculiar odour of the cigarettes . Dr. Bream always made his round in the morning , and the men nurses he employed to take care of his patients either did not notice anything unusual , or supposed that Logotheti smoked some ` outlandish Turkish stuff , ' and , because he was a privileged person , they said nothing about it . As he had brought the patient to the establishment to be cured , it was really not to be supposed that he would supply him with forbidden narcotics .
