'I don't see why not,' he replied.
'I think we could arrange it all right, don't you ?' Sweater went on.
'Anyhow, the work will have to be done, so you'd better let 'em get on with it.

L55.0.0.covers both jobs, you say ?' 'Yes.' 'Oh, all right, you get on with it and we'll see what can be done with the Corporation later on.' 'I don't suppose we'll find 'em very difficult to deal with,' said Rushton with a grin, and Sweater smiled agreement.
As they were passing through the hall they met Hunter, who had just arrived.

He was rather surprised to see them, as he knew nothing of their appointment.

He wished them 'Good morning' in an awkward hesitating undertone as if he were doubtful how his greeting would be received.

Sweater nodded slightly, but Rushton ignored him altogether and Nimrod passed on looking and feeling like a disreputable cur that had just been kicked.
As Sweater and Rushton walked together about the house, Hunter hovered about them at a respectable distance, hoping that presently some notice might be taken of him.
