“I want to be kept posted in full.”

“I said I submit.”

“Then we can start now. What did Drogo say about the arrangements for meeting Telesio?”

“Nothing. Drogo was told only that I wanted a plane for Bari.”

“Is Telesio meeting us at the airport?”

“No. He doesn’t know we’re coming. I wanted to ask Mr. Hitchcock about him first. In nineteen twenty-one he killed two Fascisti who had me cornered.”

“What with?”

“A knife.”

“In Bari?”

“Yes.”
