Drive down to Paradis in the morning, Ben; get into touch with Hammond, and discover what time Gramont got home to-night. Write me what you find out. Then take charge of things at the Gumberts place. Make sure that every car is handled right. A headquarters man from Mobile will be here to-morrow to trace the Nonpareil Twelve that Gramont now owns.

What?
human
Yes. If Gramont remains at Paradis, I may send him on down there--I'm not sure yet. I intend to get something on that man Hammond.

But you can't land him that way, master! He bought the car----

gpt
In fact, they bought it from a man named Hammond, as the evidence will show very clearly.

Master, you are magnificent! he said, and rose.
gpt
Well, if there is nothing further on hand, I shall go to bed.

An excellent programme, said Jachin Fell, and took his hat from the desk.
gpt
I must get some sleep myself.
