Sir Robert.

Sir Malcolm.
Sir Robert, I must apologize for what I have been doing since, but it seemed necessary for your protection.

Sir Malcolm.

Sir Malcolm.

Sir Malcolm.
She has been followed to the house she came from.

Sir Robert.
The house in Soho Square?

Sir Malcolm.
Yes. You remember that we suppressed the so- called Goethe Club?
