"Vincent will be in Greenhurst, also," he said. "He is following the other two men — who, we feel certain, will join Benson and Grady. At any event, Vincent will arrange to reach the Greenhurst Inn shortly after eleven o'clock."
"Therefore, you will terminate your stay at Mayo's lodge at eleven o'clock, so you can meet Vincent. Leaving New York at eight, you will reach Greenhurst — when?"
"Before ten."
"Excellent. Stay at Mayo's until eleven. You will receive a message at that hour — coming in an announcement from station WNX. It will tell you whether to go to the Inn — as we have planned — or to stay with Mayo, at the lodge. You can arrange that?"
"Easily," replied Stuart. "But if Mayo is in danger — "
"Do not worry about that," said Mann emphatically. "Vincent will explain all to you."
"But there may be trouble at Mayo's lodge — "
"Nothing will happen there while you are with Vincent," declared Mann cryptically.
Stuart Bruxton departed. Rutledge Mann waited. Four o'clock arrived. The telephone rang.
"Hello," said Mann. "Oh, yes, Vincent. All well?"
