Before leaving, Charlie had to call and interview Pinnock, and left Carew waiting outside while he went in. He didn't want to parade their injuries, and knew that Carew's eye would excite remark; but by keeping his upper lip well drawn over his teeth, he hoped his own trouble would escape notice.

Am making all inquiries. Wire me anything you know."
"Your name'll have to be filled in, and there's a blank for the name of the person it's transferred to." "That'll be Mr. Grant's name," suggested Carew.
