24/33 Grim, can you get word to ben Nasir so that when the escort is ready he may send a messenger straight to the hotel with the information? He rose from his chair to intimate that the precise moment had arrived when I might leave without indiscretion. It was not until I was outside the door that I realized that my permission was simply verbal, and that the only document that had changed hands had been signed by me. Grim followed me into the ante-room after a minute. Anyhow, you're dealing with a gentleman. |
