It was a man’s voice. and spoke with a marked A merican accent. “Come in, Mr. Trowbridge,’ replied the manager politely, and a person of striking appearance entered; a man of thirty-two or three, perhaps, tall, clean-shaven, with thick, fair hair parted in the middle, dark brows, and black-lashed, narrow, yet bold. gray eyes. He was handsome, exceedingly well dressed, with an air of wealth and prosperity which was almost ag- rressive.
