"Not yet: we have not spoken together."
"All the better. Would you mind placing us where it would be possible for us to overhear your conversation, and not be seen?"
"That is very simple. Adjoining the room where he is waiting for me is a recess, only covered by a curtain; but we can manage it better still."
"How?"
"Does he know you?"
"Me?"
"Yes. Does he know you by sight?"
"No."
"You are sure of that?"
"Quite."
