Description:

Almost all of the action of this story takes place at the country home of Sir Roger de la Haye, where a house party is in progress. Among the guests are Chi Lung, from China, and Paul Marketeim, a noted financier. Sir Roger, like his father before him, is a diplomat deeply steeped in knowledge of the East. The real purpose of the occasion, altho it appears on the surface as a pleasant meeting of friends, is the arrangement of a Chinese loan. It is especially important that the terms of the negotiation remain secret, but to the consternation of all concerned the facts are fully revealed in the London papers of the next day. Who made them public? That is the problem of the story.
