53. Rotate the inscribed square 45 so that one of its diagonals is horizontal and the other vertical. Notice
that the length of the diagonal is the same length as the side of the circumscribed square. This length is
2r. That means that the area of the circumscribed square is A  4r 2 . Returning to the inscribed square,
the length 2r is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the
length of a side of this square.
Let x = the length of each leg.

Because the area of this square is equal to x 2 , the ratio of the two areas can be determined.

The ratio is 2 to 1.

54. Since ABC is a right angle and is inscribed in the circle, arc ABC is a semicircle. Hence AC is a

Since AB = BC, 2( AB) 2  64

55. Draw a line connecting one diameter RT; draw a line connecting another diameter QS. Recall from
section 9.2 that any angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle, which means that RPT and S are
both right angles. From the Pythagorean theorem, PR 2  PT 2 equals the square of the diameter, 122.
Also, PQ 2  PS 2 equals the square of the diameter. Finally,
PR 2  PT 2  PQ 2  PS 2  122  122

Label the endpoints of the diameter through side HS, A and B. Draw chords at AJ and JB. Angle AJB is a
right angle because it is inscribed in a semicircle. Angle JHB is a right angle because it is an angle of
square JOSH. Angle AHJ is a right angle because it is the supplement of a right angle. Angle JBA in
DAJB is the same angle as JBH in DJHB. These right angles all have equal measure. Angle JAB in
DAJB is the same angle as HJB in DJHB. Thus, DAJB is similar to DJHB because of the angle-angle
similarity property. Likewise DAJB is similar to DAHJ and their corresponding sides are proportional.

“So will I,” said William. “I want to see my lawyer.”
“That will be nice,” said Anastatia, after a pause.
“Very nice,” said Jane, after another pause.
“We might all lunch together,” said Anastatia. “My appointment is
not till four.”
“I should love it,” said Jane. “My appointment is at four, too.”
“So is mine,” said William.
“What a coincidence!” said Jane, trying to speak brightly.
“Yes,” said William. He may have been trying to speak brightly,
too; but, if so, he failed. Jane was too young to have seen Salvini in
“Othello,” but, had she witnessed that great tragedian’s performance,
she could not have failed to be struck by the resemblance between
his manner in the pillow scene and William’s now.
“Then shall we all lunch together?” said Anastatia.
“I shall lunch at my club,” said William, curtly.
“William seems to have a grouch,” said Anastatia.
“Ha!” said William.
He raised his fork and drove it with sickening violence at his
sausage.

So Jane had a quiet little woman’s lunch at a confectioner’s alone


with Anastatia. Jane ordered a tongue-and-lettuce sandwich, two
macaroons, marsh-mallows, ginger-ale and cocoa; and Anastatia
ordered pineapple chunks with whipped cream, tomatoes stuffed
with beetroot, three dill pickles, a raspberry nut sundae, and hot
chocolate. And, while getting outside this garbage, they talked
merrily, as women will, of every subject but the one that really
occupied their minds. When Anastatia got up and said good-bye with
a final reference to her dressmaker, Jane shuddered at the depths of
deceit to which the modern girl can sink.
It was now about a quarter to three, so Jane had an hour to kill
before going to the rendezvous. She wandered about the streets,
and never had time appeared to her to pass so slowly, never had a
city been so congested with hard-eyed and suspicious citizens.
Every second person she met seemed to glare at her as if he or she
had guessed her secret.
The very elements joined in the general disapproval. The sky had
turned a sullen grey, and faraway thunder muttered faintly, like an
impatient golfer held up on the tee by a slow foursome. It was a relief
when at length she found herself at the back of Rodney Spelvin’s
house, standing before the scullery window, which it was her
intention to force with the pocket-knife won in happier days as
second prize in a competition at a summer hotel for those with
handicaps above eighteen.
But the relief did not last long. Despite the fact that she was about
to enter this evil house with the best motives, a sense of almost
intolerable guilt oppressed her. If William should ever get to know of
this! Wow! felt Jane.
How long she would have hesitated before the window, one
cannot say. But at this moment, glancing guiltily round, she
happened to catch the eye of a cat which was sitting on a near-by
wall, and she read in this cat’s eye such cynical derision that the
urge came upon her to get out of its range as quickly as possible. It
was a cat that had manifestly seen a lot of life, and it was plainly
putting an entirely wrong construction on her behaviour. Jane
shivered, and, with a quick jerk prised the window open and climbed
in.
It was two years since she had entered this house, but once she
had reached the hall she remembered its topography perfectly. She
mounted the stairs to the large studio sitting-room on the first floor,
the scene of so many Bohemian parties in that dark period of her
artistic life. It was here, she knew, that Rodney would bring his
victim.
The studio was one of those dim, over-ornamented rooms which
appeal to men like Rodney Spelvin. Heavy curtains hung in front of
the windows. One corner was cut off by a high-backed Chesterfield.
At the far end was an alcove, curtained like the windows. Once Jane
had admired this studio, but now it made her shiver. It seemed to her
one of those nests in which, as the subtitle of “Tried in the Furnace”
had said, only eggs of evil are hatched. She paced the thick carpet
restlessly, and suddenly there came to her the sound of footsteps on
the stairs.
Jane stopped, every muscle tense. The moment had arrived. She
faced the door, tight-lipped. It comforted her a little in this crisis to
reflect that Rodney was not one of those massive Ethel M. Dell
libertines who might make things unpleasant for an intruder. He was
only a welter-weight egg of evil; and, if he tried to start anything, a
girl of her physique would have little or no difficulty in knocking the
stuffing out of him.
The footsteps reached the door. The handle turned. The door
opened. And in strode William Bates, followed by two men in bowler
hats.
“Ha!” said William.
Jane’s lips parted, but no sound came from them. She staggered
back a pace or two. William, advancing into the centre of the room,
folded his arms and gazed at her with burning eyes.
“So,” said William, and the words seemed forced like drops of
vitriol from between his clenched teeth, “I find you here, dash it!”
Jane choked convulsively. Years ago, when an innocent child, she
had seen a conjurer produce a rabbit out of a top-hat which an
instant before had been conclusively proved to be empty. The
sudden apparition of William affected her with much the same
sensations as she had experienced then.
“How-ow-ow—?” she said.
“I beg your pardon?” said William, coldly.
“How-ow-ow—?”
“Explain yourself,” said William.
“How-ow-ow did you get here? And who-oo-oo are these men?”
William seemed to become aware for the first time of the presence
of his two companions. He moved a hand in a hasty gesture of
introduction.
“Mr. Reginald Brown and Mr. Cyril Delancey—my wife,” he said,
curtly.
The two men bowed slightly and raised their bowler hats.
“Pleased to meet you,” said one.
“Most awfully charmed,” said the other.
“They are detectives,” said William.
“Detectives!”
“From the Quick Results Agency,” said William. “When I became
aware of your clandestine intrigue, I went to the agency and they
gave me their two best men.”
“Oh, well,” said Mr. Brown, blushing a little.
“Most frightfully decent of you to put it that way,” said Mr.
Delancey.
William regarded Jane sternly.
“I knew you were going to be here at four o’clock,” he said. “I
overheard you making the assignation on the telephone.”
“Oh, William!”
“Woman,” said William, “where is your paramour?”
“Really, really,” said Mr. Delancey, deprecatingly.
“Keep it clean,” urged Mr. Brown.
“Your partner in sin, where is he? I am going to take him and tear
him into little bits and stuff him down his throat and make him
swallow himself.”
“Fair enough,” said Mr. Brown.
“Perfectly in order,” said Mr. Delancey.
Jane uttered a stricken cry.
“William,” she screamed, “I can explain all.”
“All?” said Mr. Delancey.
“All?” said Mr. Brown.
“All,” said Jane.
“All?” said William.
“All,” said Jane.
William sneered bitterly.
“I’ll bet you can’t,” he said.
“I’ll bet I can,” said Jane.
“Well?”
“I came here to save Anastatia.”
“Anastatia?”
“Anastatia.”
“My sister?”
“Your sister.”
“His sister Anastatia,” explained Mr. Brown to Mr. Delancey in an
undertone.
“What from?” asked William.
“From Rodney Spelvin. Oh, William, can’t you understand?”
“No, I’m dashed if I can.”
“I, too,” said Mr. Delancey, “must confess myself a little fogged.
And you, Reggie?”
“Completely, Cyril,” said Mr. Brown, removing his bowler hat with a
puzzled frown, examining the maker’s name, and putting it on again.
“The poor child is infatuated with this man.”
“With the bloke Spelvin?”
“Yes. She is coming here with him at four o’clock.”
“Important,” said Mr. Brown, producing a note-book and making an
entry.
“Important, if true,” agreed Mr. Delancey.
“But I heard you making the appointment with the bloke Spelvin
over the ’phone,” said William.
“He thought I was Anastatia. And I came here to save her.”

William was silent and thoughtful for a few moments.


“It all sounds very nice and plausible,” he said, “but there’s just
one thing wrong. I’m not a very clever sort of bird, but I can see
where your story slips up. If what you say is true, where is
Anastatia?”
“Just coming in now,” whispered Jane. “Hist!”
“Hist, Reggie!” whispered Mr. Delancey.
They listened. Yes, the front door had banged, and feet were
ascending the staircase.
“Hide!” said Jane, urgently.
“Why?” said William.
“So that you can overhear what they say and jump out and
confront them.”
“Sound,” said Mr. Delancey.
“Very sound,” said Mr. Brown.
The two detectives concealed themselves in the alcove. William
retired behind the curtains in front of the window. Jane dived behind
the Chesterfield. A moment later the door opened.
Crouching in her corner, Jane could see nothing, but every word
that was spoken came to her ears; and with every syllable her horror
deepened.
“Give me your things,” she heard Rodney say, “and then we’ll go
upstairs.”
Jane shivered. The curtains by the window shook. From the
direction of the alcove there came a soft scratching sound, as the
two detectives made an entry in their note-books.
For a moment after this there was silence. Then Anastatia uttered
a sharp, protesting cry.
“Ah, no, no! Please, please!”
“But why not?” came Rodney’s voice.
“It is wrong—wrong.”
“I can’t see why.”
“It is, it is! You must not do that. Oh, please, please don’t hold so
tight.”
There was a swishing sound, and through the curtains before the
window a large form burst. Jane raised her head above the
Chesterfield.
William was standing there, a menacing figure. The two detectives
had left the alcove and were moistening their pencils. And in the
middle of the room stood Rodney Spelvin, stooping slightly and
grasping Anastatia’s parasol in his hands.
“I don’t get it,” he said. “Why is it wrong to hold the dam’ thing
tight?” He looked up and perceived his visitors. “Ah, Bates,” he said,
absently. He turned to Anastatia again. “I should have thought that
the tighter you held it, the more force you would get into the shot.”
“But don’t you see, you poor zimp,” replied Anastatia, “that you’ve
got to keep the ball straight. If you grip the shaft as if you were a
drowning man clutching at a straw and keep your fingers under like
that, you’ll pull like the dickens and probably land out of bounds or in
the rough. What’s the good of getting force into the shot if the ball
goes in the wrong direction, you cloth-headed goof?”
“I see now,” said Rodney, humbly. “How right you always are!”
“Look here,” interrupted William, folding his arms. “What is the
meaning of this?”
“You want to grip firmly but lightly,” said Anastatia.
“Firmly but lightly,” echoed Rodney.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“And with the fingers. Not with the palms.”
“What is the meaning of this?” thundered William. “Anastatia, what
are you doing in this man’s rooms?”
“Giving him a golf lesson, of course. And I wish you wouldn’t
interrupt.”
“Yes, yes,” said Rodney, a little testily. “Don’t interrupt, Bates,
there’s a good fellow. Surely you have things to occupy you
elsewhere?”
“We’ll go upstairs,” said Anastatia, “where we can be alone.”
“You will not go upstairs,” barked William.
“We shall get on much better there,” explained Anastatia. “Rodney
has fitted up the top-floor back as an indoor practising room.”
Jane darted forward with a maternal cry.
“My poor child, has the scoundrel dared to delude you by
pretending to be a golfer? Darling, he is nothing of the kind.”
Mr. Reginald Brown coughed. For some moments he had been
twitching restlessly.
“Talking of golf,” he said, “it might interest you to hear of a little
experience I had the other day at Marshy Moor. I had got a nice drive
off the tee, nothing record-breaking, you understand, but straight and
sweet. And what was my astonishment on walking up to play my
second to find—”
“A rather similar thing happened to me at Windy Waste last
Tuesday,” interrupted Mr. Delancey. “I had hooked my drive the
merest trifle, and my caddie said to me, ‘You’re out of bounds.’ ‘I am
not out of bounds,’ I replied, perhaps a little tersely, for the lad had
annoyed me by a persistent habit of sniffing. ‘Yes, you are out of
bounds,’ he said. ‘No, I am not out of bounds,’ I retorted. Well,
believe me or believe me not, when I got up to my ball—”
“Shut up!” said William.
“Just as you say, sir,” replied Mr. Delancey, courteously.

Rodney Spelvin drew himself up, and in spite of her loathing for
his villainy Jane could not help feeling what a noble and romantic
figure he made. His face was pale, but his voice did not falter.
“You are right,” he said. “I am not a golfer. But with the help of this
splendid girl here, I hope humbly to be one some day. Ah, I know
what you are going to say,” he went on, raising a hand. “You are
about to ask how a man who has wasted his life as I have done can
dare to entertain the mad dream of ever acquiring a decent
handicap. But never forget,” proceeded Rodney, in a low, quivering
voice, “that Walter J. Travis was nearly forty before he touched a
club, and a few years later he won the British Amateur.”
“True,” murmured William.
“True, true,” said Mr. Delancey and Mr. Brown. They lifted their
bowler hats reverently.
“I am thirty-three years old,” continued Rodney, “and for fourteen
of those thirty-three years I have been writing poetry—aye, and
novels with a poignant sex-appeal, and if ever I gave a thought to
this divine game it was but to sneer at it. But last summer I saw the
light.”
“Glory! Glory!” cried Mr. Brown.
“One afternoon I was persuaded to try a drive. I took the club with
a mocking, contemptuous laugh.” He paused, and a wild light came
into his eyes. “I brought off a perfect pip,” he said, emotionally. “Two
hundred yards and as straight as a whistle. And, as I stood there
gazing after the ball, something seemed to run up my spine and bite
me in the neck. It was the golf-germ.”
“Always the way,” said Mr. Brown. “I remember the first drive I ever
made. I took a nice easy stance—”
“The first drive I made,” said Mr. Delancey, “you won’t believe this,
but it’s a fact, was a full—”
“From that moment,” continued Rodney Spelvin, “I have had but
one ambition—to somehow or other, cost what it might, get down
into single figures.” He laughed bitterly. “You see,” he said, “I cannot
even speak of this thing without splitting my infinitives. And even as I
split my infinitives, so did I split my drivers. After that first heavenly
slosh I didn’t seem able to do anything right.”
He broke off, his face working. William cleared his throat
awkwardly.
“Yes, but dash it,” he said, “all this doesn’t explain why I find you
alone with my sister in what I might call your lair.”
“The explanation is simple,” said Rodney Spelvin. “This sweet girl
is the only person in the world who seems able to simply and
intelligently and in a few easily understood words make clear the
knack of the thing. There is none like her, none. I have been to pro.
after pro., but not one has been any good to me. I am a
temperamental man, and there is a lack of sympathy and human
understanding about these professionals which jars on my artist
soul. They look at you as if you were a half-witted child. They click
their tongues. They make odd Scotch noises. I could not endure the
strain. And then this wonderful girl, to whom in a burst of emotion I
had confided my unhappy case, offered to give me private lessons.
So I went with her to some of those indoor practising places. But
here, too, my sensibilities were racked by the fact that unsympathetic
eyes observed me. So I fixed up a room here where we could be
alone.”
“And instead of going there,” said Anastatia, “we are wasting half
the afternoon talking.”
William brooded for a while. He was not a quick thinker.
“Well, look here,” he said at length, “this is the point. This is the
nub of the thing. This is where I want you to follow me very closely.
Have you asked Anastatia to marry you?”
“Marry me?” Rodney gazed at him, shocked. “Have I asked her to
marry me? I, who am not worthy to polish the blade of her niblick! I,
who have not even a thirty handicap, ask a girl to marry me who was
in the semi-final of last year’s Ladies’ Open! No, no, Bates, I may be
a vers-libre poet, but I have some sense of what is fitting. I love her,
yes. I love her with a fervour which causes me to frequently and for
hours at a time lie tossing sleeplessly upon my pillow. But I would not
dare to ask her to marry me.”
Anastatia burst into a peal of girlish laughter.
“You poor chump!” she cried. “Is that what has been the matter all
this time! I couldn’t make out what the trouble was. Why, I’m crazy
about you. I’ll marry you any time you give the word.”
Rodney reeled.
“What!”
“Of course I will.”
“Anastatia!”
“Rodney!”
He folded her in his arms.
“Well, I’m dashed,” said William. “It looks to me as if I had been
making rather a lot of silly fuss about nothing. Jane, I wronged you.”
“It was my fault!”
“No, no!”
“Yes, yes.”
“Jane!”
“William!”
He folded her in his arms. The two detectives, having entered the
circumstances in their note-books, looked at one another with moist
eyes.
“Cyril!” said Mr. Brown.
“Reggie!” said Mr. Delancey.
Their hands met in a brotherly clasp.

“And so,” concluded the Oldest Member, “all ended happily. The
storm-tossed lives of William Bates, Jane Packard, and Rodney
Spelvin came safely at long last into harbour. At the subsequent
wedding William and Jane’s present of a complete golfing outfit,
including eight dozen new balls, a cloth cap, and a pair of spiked
shoes, was generally admired by all who inspected the gifts during
the reception.
“From that time forward the four of them have been inseparable.
Rodney and Anastatia took a little cottage close to that of William
and Jane, and rarely does a day pass without a close foursome
between the two couples. William and Jane being steady tens and
Anastatia scratch and Rodney a persevering eighteen, it makes an
ideal match.”
“What does?” asked the secretary, waking from his reverie.
“This one.”
“Which?”
“I see,” said the Oldest Member, sympathetically, “that your
troubles, weighing on your mind, have caused you to follow my little
narrative less closely than you might have done. Never mind, I will
tell it again.”
“The story” (said the Oldest Member) “which I am about to relate
begins at a time when—”
