Mr Kelada was everywhere and always. He (be) certainly the best-hated man on the ship. We (call) him Mr Know-All to his face and he (take) it as a compliment. He (know) everything better than anybody else and it never (come) into his head that he (can) be mistaken.

There (be) four of us at table. A man (call) Ramsay, who (be) as dogmatic as Mr Kelada, his wife, and myself. Ramsay (be) in the American Consular Service and now he (be) on his way back to Japan after he (fetch) his wife from New York where she (spend) a year at home. Mrs Ramsay (be) a very pretty little thing with pleasant manners who (know) how to wear her clothes. She (be dressed) very simply because the Consular Service (be) ill-paid.

On that evening, while we (sit) all at dinner, we (start) speaking about pearls. There (be) in the papers lately a good deal of talk about the culture pearls which the Japanese (make). Mr Kelada (fell) us all that was to be known about pearls. Mr Ramsay (know) nothing about them at all, I (believe), but he (start) a heated argument with Mr Kelada. At last something that Mr Ramsay (say) made Mr Kelada so angry that he (cry out):

"I (know) what I (talk) about. I (go) to Japan just to look into this Japanese pearl business. I (be) in the trade."

That (be) news for us, because Mr Kelada never (tell) anyone what his business (be). He (look) round the table triumphantly.

"You take my word for it," he (continue), "that chain Mrs Ramsay (wear) never (be worth) a cent less than it is now. I (notice) it at once. If you (buy) it on Fifth Avenue I (be) sure it (be) worth anything up to thirty thousand."

Mr Ramsay (smile): "You (be surprised) to hear that my wife (buy) this chain at a department store the day before we (leave) New York, for eighteen dollars."

"Let me (look) at the chain," Mr Kelada (ask), "and if it (be) imitation, I (tell) you quickly enough."

"Take it off, dear," (say) Mr Ramsay. "Let Mr Kelada (look) at it as much as he (want)."

I (have) a sudden feeling that something unpleasant (be going) to happen. Mrs Ramsay (take) the chain off and Mr Ramsay (hand) it to Mr Kelada. Mr Kelada (take) a magnifying glass* from his pocket and (examine) the chain. There (be) a smile of triumph on his face. He (hand) back the chain. He (be going) to speak when he suddenly (catch) the look of terror in Mrs Ramsay's eyes; her face (turn) quite white. I (wonder) why her husband (not notice) anything.

Mr Kelada (stop) with his mouth open. "I (make) a mistake," he (say). "It (be) a very good imitation."

BLACKMAIL

The great liner stopped some way from the port. The captain said to the passengers: "You can visit the port if you want to, but you must be back on board at 5:30 as the ship is to sail off at 6 o'clock."

The ship was far too big to dock in the port and all day the local boatmen had to take the passengers to and from the liner.

At about 5 o'clock Miss Merryweather made up her mind to return to the liner.

"Will you take me over to the liner?" she asked a boatman.

"I shall, for 5 dollars."

"Isn't it a bit too expensive? I can pay you 3 dollars. If you don't agree, I can always take another boat."

After a good deal of arguing the boatman agreed to take her over for 3 dollars.

When they were about two hundred yards from the liner, the boat stopped.

"Is anything the matter?" asked Miss Merryweather.

"Nothing at all," the boatman answered. "Either you pay me 5 dollars, or you can sit here and watch the ship sail away without you."
