"Yes; there is one outside the door now."
"All right. That is good. Send Patsy for Mustushimi's lieutenant at once. Have him bring the man directly to me."

Tell Patsy to send his carriage around to my door and to come through the houses and speak to me before he goes after the Frenchman."
"All right."
