Last week a committee of five professors started work-Professors Reginald Aldworth Daly, geologist; Percy Williams Bridgman, physicist; Louis Caryl Graton, engineer; Harlow Shapley, astronomer; Donald Hamilton McLaughlin, geologist...
...Caryl has little in common with Sebastian. He likes him as a brother, as a reminder of the strange happy days when the family was together. But Sebastian is too much the turbulent, nose-thumbing Sanger for intimate comradeship. And Caryl, so far as Sebastian is concerned, is little more than the fool of the family, a queer fellow simply because he is quite without eccentricity or individuality of any sort. When they meet, things usually happen to the advantage of Sebastian, whether he especially wants them...
...Venice they meet. Disaster immediately pounces upon Caryl. Powerless to prevent it, he sees his first opportunity to attract some notice as a pianist casually swept aside by his brother. Sebastian's motives are purely fraternal when he starts out to help Caryl find Fenella, the girl Caryl loves, the girl who has sworn eternal love to him.

Sebastian promptly calls Fenella and runs away with her. But this time Caryl profits. Like most things brilliant, Sebastian's charms are not particularly adaptable. When Caryl, bent on delivering a message to Sebastian and resigned to the loss of Fenella, finds them together, he discovers that all is not harmony between them, that Sebastian is thinking of Gemma, Fenella thinking of Caryl. After that Caryl takes Fenella away. Sebastian...
