"I should think it would be a very painful remedy," Fred remarked, "and that a man would be quite unwilling to have it applied." After dinner they met as agreed, and "the Mystery" seated himself comfortably for the story he was about to tell. "Amazing," Bruce cried. "That is exactly what did happen. But how could you possibly have known that considering that until an hour ago not a soul knew of it, not even Hetty!" and from nobody else in the world.

After which Stone asked what the military were going to do about certain things which he specified, and implied the inability of the military to do anything for any one.
