“‘I
have
already
given
you
my
word.’”
“‘Very
good.’
He
suddenly
sprang
up,
and
darting
like
lightning
across
the
room
he
flung
open
the
door.
The
passage
outside
was
empty.”
“‘That’s
all
right,’
said
he,
coming
back.
‘I
know
that
clerks
are
sometimes
curious
as
to
their
master’s
affairs.
Now
we
can
talk
in
safety.’
He
drew
up
his
chair
very
close
to
mine
and
began
to
stare
at
me
again
with
the
same
questioning
and
thoughtful
look.”
“A
feeling
of
repulsion,
and
of
something
akin
to
fear
had
begun
to
rise
within
me
at
the
strange
antics
of
this
fleshless
man.
Even
my
dread
of
losing
a
client
could
not
restrain
me
from
showing
my
impatience.”
“‘I
beg
that
you
will
state
your
business,
sir,’
said
I;
‘my
time
is
of
value.’
Heaven
forgive
me
for
that
last
sentence,
but
the
words
came
to
my
lips.”
“‘How
would
fifty
guineas
for
a
night’s
work
suit
you?’
he
asked.”
“‘Most
admirably.’”
“‘I
say
a
night’s
work,
but
an
hour’s
would
be
nearer
the
mark.
I
simply
want
your
opinion
about
a
hydraulic
stamping
machine
which
has
got
out
of
gear.
If
you
show
us
what
is
wrong
we
shall
soon
set
it
right
ourselves.
What
do
you
think
of
such
a
commission
as
that?’”
