"They may yet be exposed," the mysterious visitor exclaimed. "That's where lies the danger."
"We have been betrayed, eh? You may as well admit the ugly truth at once, Goslin!"
"I do not conceal it, Sir Henry. We have."
"By whom?"
"By somebody here—in this house."
"Here! What do you mean? Somebody in my own house?"
"Yes. The Greek affair is known. They have been put upon their guard in
Athens."
"By whom?" cried the Baronet, starting from his chair.
"By somebody whom we cannot trace—somebody who must have had access to your papers."
