“Are you and this man very close?” asked Burt.
“We were sort of chummy, but I never trusted him much. He thinks too much of himself to suit my taste.”

Cook regarded his old acquaintance suspiciously.
“What do you require?” he asked.

“Perhaps I’ll have to ask his permission first,” said Enoch.
“You know what I am after?”
“I’ll swear I don’t.”
“You know that Kidd robbed his employer?” said Burt sternly.
