"Whenever you want me."
"But you have certain work to finish abroad?"
"That is true; still, I can take a run over when you are ready to start our work. We shall have a good deal to prepare before we can begin in earnest, and I shall set a man I can depend on to do all that, and have everything ready for me by the time I am clear. You find the place, ma'am, and the money, and we need not delay matters an hour."
"Want of money is no obstacle now," she answered. "I can give you enough at any time."
"And where do you think of going?" he asked.
"Into Hertfordshire if I can find a house cheap enough. I shall look for the house first, and the shed you require afterwards."
"Remember, we must have water," he said. "Good water and a continuous supply."
"I shall not forget," was the reply.
"And you think you can find the memoranda?"
"I do not think I can. I think that from time to time I may be able to obtain all particulars from Mr. Mortomley."
