Bundle went upstairs thoughtfully. She had several objects in view. First she must find this Jimmy Thesiger. Bill, perhaps, would be helpful there. Ronny Devereux had been a friend of Bill's. If Jimmy Thesiger was a friend of Ronny's, the chances were that Bill would know him too. Then there was the girl, Loraine Wade. It was possible that she could throw some light on the problem of Seven Dials. Evidently Gerry Wade had said something to her about it. His anxiety that she should forget the fact had a sinister suggestion.
Chapter VII
Bundle Pays a Call
Getting hold of Bill presented few difficulties. Bundle motored up to town on the following morning—this time without adventures by the way—and rang him up. Bill responded with alacrity, and made various suggestions as to lunch, tea, dinner and dancing. All of which suggestions Bundle turned down as made.
"In a day or two, I'll come and frivol with you, Bill. But for the moment I'm up on business."
"Oh," said Bill. "What a beastly bore."
"It's not that kind," said Bundle. "It's anything but boring. Bill, do you know anyone called Jimmy Thesiger."
"Of course. So do you."
"No, I don't," said Bundle.
"Yes, you do. You must. Everyone knows old Jimmy."
