I sat up in bed and shouted, "Come in!" A waiter entered bearing a note, which he handed to me on a salver. I looked at him, around the room, which was still in some confusion, and down at the note, which was clearly addressed to me, J. Hardross Courage, Esq. Suddenly my eyes fell upon the smashed door, and I remembered at once the events of the previous night. I tore open the note. It was typewritten and brief: - "The manager presents his compliments to Mr. Hardross Courage, and would be obliged if he will arrange to vacate his room by midday. The manager further regrets that he is unable to offer Mr. Courage any other accommodation." "Tell the valet to let me have a bath in five minutes," I ordered, springing out of bed, " and bring me some tea. Look sharp!" I was in a furious temper.

"Certainly, sir, what name?" he asked, drawing a slip of paper towards him. "Courage-" I told him, "Mr. Hardross Courage!" The man's manner underwent a distinct change. "I am sorry, sir," he said, "but Mr. Blumentein is engaged. Is there anything I can do?" "No!" I answered him bluntly. "I want the manager, and no on.
