"I've
already
given
you
my
word."
"Very
good."
He
suddenly
leapt
up
and
dashed
across
the
room,
flinging
the
door
open.
The
hallway
outside
was
empty.
"That's
all
right,"
he
said,
returning.
"I
know
clerks
can
be
curious
about
their
employer's
affairs.
Now
we
can
speak
safely."
He
pulled
his
chair
close
to
mine
and
began
to
stare
at
me
again
with
the
same
questioning
and
thoughtful
expression.
"A
feeling
of
unease
and
something
like
fear
began
to
grow
within
me
at
this
strange
man's
antics.
Even
my
fear
of
losing
a
client
couldn't
stop
me
from
showing
my
impatience."
"I
request
you
state
your
business,
sir,"
I
said;
"my
time
is
valuable."
Heaven
forgive
me
for
that
last
remark,
but
the
words
slipped
out.
"How
would
fifty
guineas
for
a
night's
work
suit
you?"
he
asked.
"Most
excellently."
"I
say
a
night's
work,
but
an
hour's
would
be
closer.
I
just
need
your
opinion
on
a
hydraulic
stamping
machine
that's
malfunctioned.
If
you
show
us
what's
wrong,
we'll
fix
it
ourselves.
What
do
you
think
of
such
a
task?"
