"Unless the thieves and murderers were waiting there in Hull for his arrival," said Fullaway quietly. "That's possible!" "Strikes me a good many possibilities are knocking around," remarked Allerdyke, with more than his usual dryness. "As for me, I'll want to know a lot about these valuables and their consignment before I make up my mind in any way. I tell you frankly.
His Italian subtilty was disturbed, and his natural kindness chafed by the dryness of the emperor's message.
