I'm inclined to be very sorry for all this, and fear it may affect you very seriously. You're not just playing at this, I hope?

Playing at what?

This loss of memory. I mean that you need not have the faintest hesitation about speaking to me; and it occurred to me that you might have put it all on just to avoid questions at Rotterdam.

Are you serious?

Absolutely. It's a tremendously serious matter. It's this way. We've seen the _Burgen's_ manifest, of course; we know there were only two male cabin passengers on board, both travelling as Americans; one as Jas. R. Lamb, the other as Joseph Lyman. If you are Lassen, that was you. The other man, Lamb, as he called himself, we have good reason to believe was an English spy. It follows, therefore, that if you are not Lassen, you are the Englishman; and I need scarcely tell you that at such a time as this, spies find Berlin a very unhealthy place.
