“Thank you,” replied Jim. “We will go there.”
“Hem!” commented Berwick when they were on the street again. “We didn’t find out very much.”
“I don’t know,” answered Jim. “At least we have found that he has heard from Broome.”
“How do you make that out?”
“He went away unexpectedly or he would have made more preparation, and he left no word where he was going or when he would be back, which shows that he was going on some secret mission.”
“You are probably right,” admitted Berwick, after a moment’s thought. “We won’t be able to get any information from him.”
“But we may get something from his lawyer,” replied Jim cheerfully. “He probably knows where he has gone.”
“What shall we do to get there, walk or ride?”
“Better ride, I think,” said Jim, hailing a cab. “We haven’t any time to lose.”
