"Well,
perhaps
it's
better
not
to
tell
you
that
right
now.
I
know
from
the
same
source
that
you
are
an
orphan,
a
bachelor,
and
live
alone
in
London."
"That's
correct,"
I
replied,
"but
excuse
me
if
I
say
I
don't
see
how
this
relates
to
my
professional
skills.
I
thought
you
wanted
to
speak
to
me
about
a
professional
matter?"
"Certainly.
But
you'll
find
everything
I
say
is
relevant.
I
have
a
professional
job
for
you,
but
complete
secrecy
is
essential—absolute
secrecy,
you
understand,
and
of
course,
we
expect
that
more
from
someone
alone
than
from
someone
with
a
family."
"If
I
promise
to
keep
a
secret,"
I
said,
"you
can
absolutely
rely
on
me."
"He
looked
at
me
very
closely
as
I
spoke,
and
I
thought
I
had
never
seen
such
a
suspicious
and
questioning
look."
"Do
you
promise,
then?"
he
finally
asked.
"Yes,
I
promise."
"Absolute
and
complete
silence
before,
during,
and
after?
No
mention
of
the
matter
at
all,
either
in
words
or
writing?"
