"I guess there is no doubt of that."
"There isn't."
"How long have you been in the city, Carter?"
"Since about five o'clock."
"And you have made all these arrangements since that time, besides doing the other things you had to do?"
"The arrangements were easy, for you must remember that Washington is an old stamping-ground of mine. I had only to tell my assistants what to do--and I did that before we left New York. Then I went on about my business. They did not come here on the same train that I did."
"I don't suppose you will want to use me again, will you, as you did before?"
"No, senator, it will not be necessary this time. I shall work out the case in another way entirely."
"How soon are you going to start out to see that captured spy?"
"In a few minutes more. I wish to give all the other parties plenty of time."
