He leantforward a little and said, softly, butclearly, Chloe. I will remember,
she said, and-and I dobelieve in God.
He knew something about that Boy Scout of
yours, Sir Giles said, sohe must have seen something.
He doesnt care about
Suleiman-or Charlemagne-or .

importance atall.
Why, that we shall see, Lord Arglay said. Besides, itsgot to
be a kind of symbol for me-an omen.
I will offer you twoalternatives, he

That is the room where Giless experiment took place, Lord
Arglayexplained.
Sheldrake, andLord Arglay would probably know a good deal
about it. Why had she rushed round andflown at Sir Giless throat? When he had
at last, in deep concentration,made several marks on the paper he threw it to
Chloe.
Thrice is he armed, of course, but I would rather you could come tome.
