“‘Then
we
can
hardly
get
there
before
midnight.
I
suppose
there
would
be
no
chance
of
a
train
back.
I
should
be
compelled
to
stop
the
night.’”
“‘Yes,
we
could
easily
give
you
a
shake-down.’”
“‘That
is
very
awkward.
Could
I
not
come
at
some
more
convenient
hour?’”
“‘We
have
judged
it
best
that
you
should
come
late.
It
is
to
recompense
you
for
any
inconvenience
that
we
are
paying
to
you,
a
young
and
unknown
man,
a
fee
which
would
buy
an
opinion
from
the
very
heads
of
your
profession.
Still,
of
course,
if
you
would
like
to
draw
out
of
the
business,
there
is
plenty
of
time
to
do
so.’”
“I
thought
of
the
fifty
guineas,
and
of
how
very
useful
they
would
be
to
me.
‘Not
at
all,’
said
I,
‘I
shall
be
very
happy
to
accommodate
myself
to
your
wishes.
I
should
like,
however,
to
understand
a
little
more
clearly
what
it
is
that
you
wish
me
to
do.’”
“‘Quite
so.
It
is
very
natural
that
the
pledge
of
secrecy
which
we
have
exacted
from
you
should
have
aroused
your
curiosity.
I
have
no
wish
to
commit
you
to
anything
without
your
having
it
all
laid
before
you.
I
suppose
that
we
are
absolutely
safe
from
eavesdroppers?’”
“‘Entirely.’”
“‘Then
the
matter
stands
thus.
You
are
probably
aware
that
fuller’s-earth
is
a
valuable
product,
and
that
it
is
only
found
in
one
or
two
places
in
England?’”
