"Why should Mayes need to send his confederate instructions by written note? We know the nature of his hold over his subordinates, and we know that it means personal communication.

A farmer in France works much the same as his men, dresses in a plain decent manner, and considers himself very little superior to his men, whilst his wife goes to market with her butter and eggs upon one of the farm horses; and without any education herself she thinks she does wonders in having her daughters taught to read, write and cypher, but invariably economises to give them a marriage portion.
Then, it was just before I hurried round here to see you that I received a cypher telegram from her, warning me that Count Godensky of whom you've probably heard an attaché of the Russian embassy in Paris, somehow has come to suspect a er a game in high politics which she and I have been playing; her last, according to present intentions, as I told you.

He saw that she meant what she said.
"Why, if you will have it," said Robin, roused by the contempt, "there is one great hole in this. All hangs upon Gifford's word, as it seems to me. You have not spoken with Mary; you have not even her own hand on it." "Bah! Why, her Grace of the Scots cannot write in cypher, do you think?" "I do not know how that may be. It may be so.
