The thing was in its early stages , which may also have accounted for the voice reaching her strange and broken . I was standing beside him while he spoke . We were in the vestibule of the Savoy Hotel at Colorado Springs . It was five o'clock in the afternoon , which would be about seven in New York . He told her he was safe and well , and that she was not to fret about him . He told her he had been that morning for a walk in the Garden of the Gods , which is the name given to the local park ; they do that sort of thing in Colorado . Also that he had drunk from the silicial springs abounding in that favoured land .
