"I've
already
given
you
my
word."
"Very
good."
He
suddenly
jumped
up
and
moved
quickly
across
the
room
to
open
the
door.
The
hallway
outside
was
empty.
"That's
all
right,"
he
said,
coming
back.
"I
know
clerks
can
sometimes
be
curious
about
their
employer's
business.
Now
we
can
talk
safely."
He
pulled
his
chair
very
close
to
mine
and
began
to
stare
at
me
again
with
the
same
questioning
and
thoughtful
look.
"A
feeling
of
dislike
and
something
like
fear
began
to
rise
in
me
at
the
strange
behavior
of
this
thin
man.
Even
my
fear
of
losing
a
client
couldn't
stop
me
from
showing
my
impatience."
"I
ask
you
to
state
your
business,
sir,"
I
said.
"My
time
is
valuable."
Heaven
forgive
me
for
saying
that
last
part,
but
I
couldn't
help
it.
"How
would
fifty
guineas
for
a
night's
work
suit
you?"
he
asked.
"Very
well."
"I
say
a
night's
work,
but
it's
really
closer
to
an
hour.
I
just
need
your
opinion
on
a
hydraulic
stamping
machine
that's
not
working
properly.
If
you
show
us
what's
wrong,
we
can
fix
it
ourselves.
What
do
you
think
of
such
a
job?"
