Excerpt from The Phantom Future, Vol. 2 of 2
A few mornings later, Crozier was placidly disposing of a very fair breakfast with the help of a newspaper propped up against the coffee-pot, when Tom Valliant appeared. The medical student placed his hat gravely upon the head of a bronze statuette which stood upon the mantelpiece, and then sat down on a chair which he brought to the table.
"Good morning, Samuel," he said. Then he raised the covers of one or two dishes with quaint anxiety. "The cupboard is bare," he remarked, regretfully.
