I saw Sir Baldwin Frazer blanch. He could not know what I knew of the significance of those words "my wire-jackets, my files" but perhaps something of my own horror communicated itself to him. "You will not refuse" continued Fu-Manchu softly; "my only fear for you is that the operation my prove unsuccessful!
You find yourself in a place strange to you, a place to which no clue can lead your friends; in the absolute power of a man myself who knows no law other than his own and that of those associated with him. Virtually, Sir Baldwin, you stand in China; and in China we know how to exact obedience. You will not refuse, for Dr. Petrie will tell you something of my wire-jackets and my files...."
Within my heart of hearts I could not doubt him; I knew that my courage was not of a quality high enough to sustain the frightful ordeals summoned up before my imagination by those words "my files, my wire-jackets!" "In the event, however, of any little obstinancy," he added, "another will plead with you."
