They waited behind the big door column for several minutes. Suddenly a man came swinging through the portal. It was Sawyer. Bobbie remembered him instantly, while Mary gripped his arm until she pinched it. "We'll follow him," said Burke, for the girl had already told of the dictagraph conversation. Follow him they did. Up one street and down another.
"A job for you, Burke," said the major, after reading the note. "Mr. Clive is annoyed at the Nawab's escape and thinks he may give us trouble yet if he can join hands with Law and his Frenchmen. I am to send you ahead to reconnoiter. You've been to Murshidabad, I think?" "No, only to Cossimbazar, but that is not far off." "Well, you know the best part of the road, at any rate.
