Excerpt from The Man With the Brooding Eyes "Gentlemen, " said Mr. Callaghan, "I will declare a dividend." He opened a morocco case and laid a neat pile of bank-notes on the lacquer table beside him. Mr. Callaghan's air was that of a company-promoter presenting an unsatisfactory balance-sheet. Polishing his spectacles gently with a silk handkerchief, he replaced them. His long white hand lifted a number of notes from the pile and laid them on one side. "Vaille, two hundred pounds." Vaille, dark and languid, admirably dressed, folded the notes with slender fingers and placed them in his pocket-book. There was a slightly contemptuous expression in his eyes. "Drummond, two hundred and fifty pounds." Harold Drummond, smart, fair-haired, and debonair, took his share with a smile. "Thank you, Chief, " he said genially. "Slaney, three hundred pounds."
