Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Ambassador
Three days ago, out of a clear sky, this telegram arrived:
Come at once to Washington. Think I have you fixed.
Walter.
Walter is my best friend. He has succeeded fairly well in the Diplomatic Service, and at present is fulfilling an important position - if one may judge by the resonant title which signifies it - in the Department of State. He has been urging me for several years to go in for diplomacy; always encouraging me with the remark that I am so admirably fitted for it. What he means by this I don't exactly know. I'm of the opinion that he doesn't either. However, I had told him to tip me off if any chance came; and I felt sure that this telegram meant that the opportunity had come knocking at my door.
He met me at the station.
"You're looking quite fit. Ready for a job?" He took me by the arm and piloted me through the crowd to his motor. "It's all ready for you."
