Peter believes the yellow gentleman will return with the script as he promised.... he soon learns otherwise.

'It's quite all right," I protested. "He's going to meet me here, in the very same spot, tomorrow morning at nine. '

"He never will," she said decidedly.

Nor did he. Kit came with me to keep the appointment, and we waited till the clock struck ten, but the yellow gentleman did not appear.

"He's a pirate," said Kit, "a playhouse pirate. He'll sell that play to someone else, and they'll rush it into production and do it before we do."
