'He sometimes drives over from the hotel, and sometimes walks. He has been working late this evening. Strolling on under the trees they met three masculine figures, laughing and talking loudly. 'Those are the three first-class London draughtsmen, Bowles, Knowles, and Cockton, whom he has engaged to assist him, regardless of expense, continued Dare. 'O Lord! groaned Havill.
