"You may be sure he will have that authority," he said at last.
"You know----?"

"He is an agent of the German Government," he said shortly.
He was soon to find out where Herr Liederman stood. The machine swerved violently as the German's heavy hands suddenly grasped the wheel.
"A secret agent!" he muttered. "Who told you?"
"Fräulein Korasov."
"And how did she learn this?"
"From Kirylo Ivanitch."
