Hart hastily informed him.
“I get you, boss,” Nolan repeated. “I’m on to the job, and will be there, all right.”
“Make sure you’re not detected,” Hart cautioned.

“And say nothing about this.”
“And for that, too,” whispered Nolan, with an expressive leer.
“That’s all, then. Go ahead.”

Nick Carter, after an apparently vain mission, departed with Lord Waldmere five minutes later.
