An hour or so later Bassett went back to his room in a state of mental and nervous exhaustion. He knew that from that time on he would be under suspicion and probably under espionage, and he proceeded methodically, his door locked, to go over his papers. His notebook and the cuttings from old files relative to the Clark case he burned in his wash basin and then carefully washed the basin.
It was the ideal floor for an engagement, but from the uncomfortable sense of espionage from the neighbourhood of a town that looked with all its windows upon the place as it were upon a scene in a play-house. The whole front of the town was not two hundred yards away. "We shall be disturbed here, monsieur," said Count Victor, hesitating as the other put off his plaid and coat.
The addition of a bathroom, with running hot water, had made no change in his daily habits. He was very strict with Anna, and with the women who, one after another, kept house for him. "I'll have no men lounging around," was his first instruction on engaging them. And to Anna his solicitude took the form almost of espionage.

He little thought that under his own roof he himself was to be the victim of an equally base espionage. It was an insult on the part of the government to have sent Mr. Motley such a letter with such questions as were annexed to it.
The only Indians we saw were those who came in, under strict espionage, to barter their furs for merchandise and drink principally drink and occasional delegations of chiefs who came here to meet the governor or his representatives these latter journeying up from New York for the purpose. For the rest, a goodly and profitable traffic went sedately and comfortably forward.
Not many homes in Kalamba were so well posted on events of the outside world, and the children constantly heard discussions of questions which other households either ignored or treated rather reservedly, for espionage was rampant even then in the Islands. Mrs.
