"Well,
perhaps
it's
best
not
to
tell
you
that
just
now.
I
have
it
on
good
authority
that
you're
both
an
orphan
and
a
bachelor
living
alone
in
London."
"That's
correct,"
I
replied,
"but
I
must
say
I
don't
see
how
this
relates
to
my
professional
qualifications.
I
understood
you
wanted
to
discuss
a
professional
matter
with
me?"
"Certainly.
But
you'll
find
everything
I
say
is
relevant.
I
have
a
professional
job
for
you,
but
absolute
secrecy
is
essential—complete
secrecy,
you
understand,
and
naturally,
we
expect
that
more
from
a
man
who
lives
alone
than
from
one
with
a
family."
"If
I
promise
to
keep
a
secret,"
I
said,
"you
can
absolutely
rely
on
me."
"He
looked
at
me
intently
as
I
spoke,
and
I
felt
I'd
never
seen
such
a
suspicious
and
questioning
gaze."
"Do
you
promise,
then?"
he
finally
asked.
"Yes,
I
promise."
"Complete
silence
before,
during,
and
after?
No
mention
of
the
matter
at
all,
either
verbally
or
in
writing?"
