He would have to wait with what patience he could until the morning when he would be able to act instead of think. His face was expressionless when he turned to Peters again and sat down quietly to discuss business. Half an hour later the agent rose to go. "I'll bring up a checque book and some money in the morning before you start. You won't have time to go to the bank in London.

If he could have seen that brief note he would have read: DEAR ALIX: I enclose my checque for two-fifty. If all goes well I hope to clean up the indebtedness by the first of the year.
