4 p.m.
When it comes to turning out fiction , Marie Corelli is not in the running . Honestly , when Mr. Detective walked into the hotel this evening , I figured it a toss-up whether I should ever see home and mother again . I am only an humble steel-maker , but I am for you and I want to see you again and tell you right to your face what I think of you . If you will sort of happen to be in the garden at 4 p.m. to-morrow -LRB- Thursday -RRB- , I will come over the wall at the very spot I picked out to-day . I know that this method of becoming acquainted with young women is not indorsed by the _ Ladies _ ' _ Home Journal _ or Beatrice Fairfax , but , as nearly as I can find out , there is no other way in which I can get into society over here . So far as the bloodhounds of the law are concerned , do n't give them a thought . I have met , the great Koldo , and he wo n't know until about next Sunday that yesterday was Tuesday .
