They shook hands. "Good-bye and good luck, Rupert, old man," Walter said. "You may depend on me you know that." "Yes, I do know that," Dunn answered. They shook hands again, and Dunn said: "You've hurt your hand. It's tied up. Is it anything much?" "No, no," answered Walter with a little laugh. "A mere scratch. I scratched it on a bit of wood, a lid that didn't fit properly."
