"I intended to, provided it had your approval, sir," I replied. "You have my approval, Mr. Paret," he declared, rather cryptically, and with the slight German hardening of the v's into which he relapsed at times.
"The agent doesn't know where she is, and I can't wait. Round up Rosebud soon as you can, and find out what's become of it." The other swore frankly at Rosebud, who appeared to be an individual.
