"That Marlborough Buildings is the head office of Peter Piper's Popular Pills; of which business Clifford's the managing director."

"I dare say; that doesn't want much finding out, everybody knows it; but what's it to do with us?"
"A good deal."
"How?"
"We're going to have a share of the business, and of the profits, and probably of former profits also."
"Are we indeed? How are we going to manage it?"
