"
But
I
do
n't
see
,
"
went
on
Winstanley
.
"
Their
object
was
to
get
these
dispositions
without
our
knowing
it
.
Now
it
only
required
one
of
us
to
mention
to
Alloa
our
meeting
tonight
for
the
whole
fraud
to
be
exposed
.
"
Sir
Walter
laughed
dryly
.
"
The
selection
of
Alloa
shows
their
acumen
.
Which
of
us
was
likely
to
speak
to
him
about
tonight
?
Or
was
he
likely
to
open
the
subject
?
"
I
remembered
the
First
Sea
Lord
's
reputation
for
taciturnity
and
shortness
of
temper
.
"
The
one
thing
that
puzzles
me
,
"
said
the
General
,
"
is
what
good
his
visit
here
would
do
that
spy
fellow
?
He
could
not
carry
away
several
pages
of
figures
and
strange
names
in
his
head
.
"
"
That
is
not
difficult
,
"
the
Frenchman
replied
.
"
A
good
spy
is
trained
to
have
a
photographic
memory
.
Like
your
own
Macaulay
.
You
noticed
he
said
nothing
,
but
went
through
these
papers
again
and
again
.
I
think
we
may
assume
that
he
has
every
detail
stamped
on
his
mind
.
When
I
was
younger
I
could
do
the
same
trick
.
"
"
Well
,
I
suppose
there
is
nothing
for
it
but
to
change
the
plans
,
"
said
Sir
Walter
ruefully
.
Whittaker
was
looking
very
glum
.
"
Did
you
tell
Lord
Alloa
what
has
happened
?
"
he
asked
.
"
No
?
Well
,
I
ca
n't
speak
with
absolute
assurance
,
but
I
'm
nearly
certain
we
ca
n't
make
any
serious
change
unless
we
alter
the
geography
of
England
.
"
"
Another
thing
must
be
said
,
"
it
was
Royer
who
spoke
.
"
I
talked
freely
when
that
man
was
here
.
I
told
something
of
the
military
plans
of
my
Government
.
I
was
permitted
to
say
so
much
.
But
that
information
would
be
worth
many
millions
to
our
enemies
.
No
,
my
friends
,
I
see
no
other
way
.
The
man
who
came
here
and
his
confederates
must
be
taken
,
and
taken
at
once
.
