<p>“Please tell this lady, Jacob, in a few brief words, what you have done since Wednesday evening, when, after letting her get into the <i xml:lang="fr">train-de-luxe</i> which was taking me from the <span xml:lang="fr">Gare de Lyon</span> to the south, you yourself remained on the platform at the station. Of course, I am not asking how you spent your time, except in so far as concerns the lady and the business with which I entrusted you.”</p>
<p>Jacob dived into the inside-pocket of his jacket and produced a little notebook of which he turned over the pages and read them aloud in the voice of a man reading a report:</p>
<blockquote epub:type="z3998:diary">
<p epub:type="z3998:diary-entry"><i class="time">Wednesday evening, 8:15.</i> <span xml:lang="fr">Gare de Lyon</span>. Wait for two gents, Growler and Masher. They come with another whom I don’t know yet, but who can only be <abbr>M.</abbr> Nicole. Give a porter ten francs for the loan of his cap and blouse. Accost the gents and tell them, from a lady, ‘that they were gone to Monte Carlo.’ Next, telephone to the porter at the Hôtel Franklin. All telegrams sent to his boss and dispatched by said boss will be read by said hotel-porter and, if necessary, intercepted.</p>
<p epub:type="z3998:diary-entry"><i class="time">Thursday.</i> Monte Carlo. The three gents search the hotels.</p>
<p epub:type="z3998:diary-entry"><i class="time">Friday.</i> Flying visits to La Turbie, the Cap d’Ail, Cap Martin. <abbr>M.</abbr> Daubrecq rings me up. Thinks it wiser to send the gents to Italy. Make the porter of the Hôtel Franklin send them a telegram appointing a meeting at San Remo.</p>
<p epub:type="z3998:diary-entry"><i class="time">Saturday.</i> San Remo. Station platform. Give the porter of the Ambassadeurs-Palace ten francs for the loan of his cap. The three gents arrive. They speak to me. Explain to them that a lady traveller, <abbr>Mme.</abbr> Mergy, is going on to Genoa, to the Hôtel Continental. The gents hesitate. <abbr>M.</abbr> Nicole wants to get out. The others hold him back. The train starts. Good luck, gents! An hour later, I take the train for France and get out at Nice, to await fresh orders.”</p>

<p>Jacob closed his notebook and concluded:</p>
<p>“That’s all. Today’s doings will be entered this evening.”</p>
