"You asked Burnet for me?"
"I didn't know what his name was; but it was the man you just called in here."
"Burnet; go on."
"He told me to come in here and wait for you."
"Burnet told you so?"
"Yes, sir; and when I came back, Mr. Hart was taking some papers and things from that safe, and putting them in the pocket of his overcoat. Then he locked the safe, and put the key in his pocket."
"Go on," said Mr. Checkynshaw, excited by these details.
"Then Mr. Hart told me Mr. Checkynshaw would not be in again to-day, and I must come again to-morrow."
"What then?"
"I went out through the big room, and he came right after me."
