Show Excerpt:
It is doubtful  whether the gift was innate. For my own part, I think  it came to him suddenly. Indeed, until  he was thirty  he was a sceptic, and did not believe in miraculous powers. And here, since it is the most con- venient place, I must mention that he was a little man, and had eyes of a hot brown, very erect red hair, a moustache with  ends that he twisted up, and freckles. His name was George McWhirter  Fotheringay—not the sort of name by any means to lead to any expectation of miracles—and he was clerk at Gomshott's. He was greatly addicted to assertive argu- ment. It was while he was asserting the impossibility of miracles that he had his first intimation  of his extraordinary powers. This particular argu- ment was being held in the bar of the Long Dragon, and Toddy Beamish was conducting the opposition  by a monotonous but effective "So you say," that drove Mr. Fotheringay to the very limit of his patience.
