I asked in order to find out whether Harry Wethermill had a road-book at all which gave a plan of the roads between here and Geneva.

And he had.

He handed it to me at once and quite naturally.

I hope that I took it calmly, but I was not at all calm inside.

For it was a new road-book, which, by the way, he bought a week before, and I was asking myself all the while--now what was I asking myself, M.Ricardo ?" "No," said Ricardo, with a smile.
