Sir Julian's discussion with Mark was completed rapidly enough.
"I'm quite ready to see this Gloucester affair through," said Mark, looking out of the window. "Fuller doesn't seem anxious to take it on."
"Can you spare the time?"
"Easily."
"To-day is Friday. What about Monday?"
"Right."
Mark said nothing more. The tiny furrow between his eyes had deepened a very little.
They spoke of business for a little while and then Sir Julian left Mark in solitary possession of the small office.
As he came away he encountered Miss Marchrose.
Her observation was worthy of Mr. Cooper.
