Ted took another look about. He lifted himself on the door-knob and then eager hands helped him out. Walker ran down the fire escape to take a look around the room and Strong hoisted himself up on the knob and also looked about. Ted’s work had been thorough and neither of them made any criticisms.
“Well, that’s something of a relief,” said Walker. Ted closed the fanlight.
“Nothing to do until tonight,” and Walker grinned.
“Let’s eat,” said Strong. “Coming with us, Bronson?”
“Certainly,” was the answer.

STRONG SEEMS CHECKMATED
TED was too excited to eat.
“Better eat, lad,” said Walker. “We do not know when we will get another chance today.” If no one else seemed to be following his advice, he himself considered it good enough to heed. He was eating enough for two.
“I imagine it is going to be risky business tonight,” Bronson remarked. “I wish I could be with you.”
“It’s either going to be that, or it is going to be very simple,” Strong answered.
