“Let him wear them, then.”
“And I will ’ave him use the same signal knock as I used.”
“Once, then twice.”
“Yes, Sir Edud.”
“Very good. I will remember.”
“To make dead sure,” added Gammon, “I will ’ave ’im mention ’is name as Mr. Pimlico. That’s no common name, Sir Edud, and you’ll be sure it’s ’im.”
“I understand you, Gammon,” Sir Edward said, with a growl. “Send the man here to-night. Tell him I insist upon seeing him.”
Baldy Gammon arose with a bow and gesture of assent, then hurriedly departed.
Nick Carter whispered a few words to Chick, then stole noiselessly out of the suite in which they had been listening.
It was half past eight when Baldy Gammon departed, leaving Sir Edward Chadwick to await the arrival of the said Mr. Pimlico.
