Wilkie was outdoing himself to please the bronze man. Doc seemed faintly puzzled for a moment. Then
he caught sight of the magazine article which Wilkie had been reading. His inscrutable, metallic features
did not change. but after a moment he indicated the periodical.

"The chap who wrote that had a lot of imagination," he said dryly.
