He must think it an awfully wonderful piece of good luck that a young married couple should happen to be journeying in the very direction taken by a gentleman whom he wants to find, and that they are willing to look for the gentleman without charging anything but the extra expenses to which they may be put.

We wouldn't charge him a cent, you know, Freddy Null, but for the fear that he would think we would not truly act as his agents if we were not paid, and so would employ somebody else.

We don't want him to employ anybody else.

We want to find Junius Keswick before he does, and then, maybe, we won't want Mr Croft to find him at all.

But I hope it will not turn out that way.
