There's some rotten dirty work going on somewhere; that's as plain as a pikestaff. I believe these people are simply using you as a cats-paw. All they want is to get hold of the secret of this new explosive of yours; then as likely as not they'll hand you over to the police, or else...." he paused.

I've lived through one bloody war and I never want to see another. But if fight we must for our country, fight we will." "And I'm sure none more bravely than Zenas Drayton," said Katherine proudly, laying her hand on her brother's head.
