“Who’s this man Pitt?” asked Hargate.
“Oh, pal of mine,” said his lordship. “Why?”
“I can’t stand the fellow.”
“I think he’s a good chap,” said his lordship. “In fact,” remembering Jimmy’s Good Samaritanism, “I know he is. Why don’t you like him?”
“I don’t know. I don’t.”
“Oh!” said his lordship indifferently. He was in no mood to listen to the likes and dislikes of other men.
“Look here, Dreever,” said Hargate, “I want you to do something for me—I want you to get Pitt out of the place.”
Lord Dreever eyed him curiously.
“Eh?” he said. Hargate repeated his remark.
“You seem to have mapped out quite a programme for me,” said Lord Dreever.
