In fact, I shouldn't let Flexen interview you again at all. In an affair of this kind you can't be too careful." "I won't let him interview me again," said Helena with decision. Mr. Flexen did not try to interview her again.

"Should there be need for any, two blades will be better than one. If it come to blows and we are killed or taken, Yeates and the chief must make the shift to do without our help."
