Chickerel could have wished to search for Picotee, and learn from her the details of this mysterious matter.

Chickerel, sitting in a patriarchal chair, conversed pleasantly with his guest, being well acquainted with him through other members of the family.
You mentioned them once in your letters, said Christopher. 'Berta has set them up as builders in London. 'She bought a business for them, said Chickerel. 'But Sol wouldn't accept her help for a long time, and now he has only agreed to it on condition of paying her back the money with interest, which he is doing.
