"Then
we
can't
get
there
before
midnight.
I
suppose
there's
no
chance
of
a
return
train.
I'll
have
to
stay
overnight."
"Yes,
we
can
easily
provide
you
with
a
place
to
sleep."
"That's
inconvenient.
Could
I
come
at
a
more
suitable
time?"
"We've
decided
it's
best
for
you
to
come
late.
We're
paying
you,
a
young
and
unknown
man,
a
fee
that
would
buy
an
opinion
from
the
top
of
your
profession
to
compensate
for
any
inconvenience.
Still,
if
you'd
like
to
withdraw,
there's
time."
I
thought
of
the
fifty
guineas
and
how
useful
they'd
be.
"Not
at
all,"
I
said,
"I'm
happy
to
accommodate
your
wishes.
However,
I'd
like
to
understand
more
clearly
what
you
need
me
to
do."
"Quite
so.
It's
natural
that
the
secrecy
we've
demanded
has
piqued
your
curiosity.
I
don't
want
to
involve
you
without
laying
everything
out.
I
assume
we're
safe
from
eavesdroppers?"
"Completely."
"Then
here's
the
situation.
You're
probably
aware
that
fuller’s-earth
is
a
valuable
product,
and
it's
only
found
in
a
few
places
in
England?"
