The great city was buried under a dank, yellow fog. Traffic was temporarily checked; foot passengers groped their way by the light of the street lamps, and the hoarse shouts of the link boys running before cabs and carriages with blazing torches rang at intervals above the muffled rumble of countless wheels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the coffee-room of a quiet hotel on the Strand a young man stands by the window, looking pensively out on the misty street. He is quite young, with light hair that falls half over his forehead, and a drooping, golden mustache, and in rather startling contrast to these a deep-bronzed complexion that tells of foreign lands and tropical suns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Captain Chutney, sir?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a hotel servant, with a big blue envelope in his hand, and, as the young man wheels round, he reveals the uniform and bright facings of a captain of hussars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, I am Captain Chutney,\" he replies to the servant. \"Thank you,\" and, taking the blue document, he stands for a moment in deep thoughtfulness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[6]Well may he hesitate to break that official seal which glares up at him so broadly. Were the gift of futurity his, and could he see mirrored before him the dread panorama of events that are inevitably linked with that innocent-looking missive, he would fling it with horror-stricken hands into the coal-fire that burns on the grate beside him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut no disturbing thought enters his mind. The future looks bright and cheerful enough just at present, and ripping open the end of the envelope without breaking the seal, he pulls out a folded paper and reads:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColonial Office, Downing Street, S. W.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo Captain Guy Chutney:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour immediate presence is requested on urgent affairs.","brand":"WHITE DOG PUBLISHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145408233712,"sku":"2940012711809","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012711809_p0.jpg?v=1763572045","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012711809","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
