I have tumbled to the whole game, and I am going to have my share of the plunder. Of course, if Shute likes to keep you in the dark for his own purposes, that is nothing to do with me. I expected something of the sort, when I turned up to-night. Shute, you had better tell your friends all about it. I’ll smoke a cigarette and listen.” Shute made some sort of shamefaced confession to his confederate, who listened moodily enough, glancing malevolently at the smiling Blythe meanwhile.
“And now you understand,” Blythe said. “I dare say Shute thought he could shake me off altogether. But he might have known by this time that I am not that sort of man. Also I want you to understand that if this sort of thing happens again you will be exceedingly sorry for it. And now, if you don’t mind, I should like to have a look at those samples you have just landed. I have never seen saccharine in my life, and I am rather curious to know what it is like. You might open one of those bags.”
“What’s the use of doing that?” Shute said uneasily. “You don't want to see the stuff. It’s only concentrated sugar. Besides, it’s all properly packed up, ready to go to Brunswick Square in the car, and from thence to London to-morrow. There is over a thousand pounds’ worth there, and so long as you get your proper share, I don’t see what you have got to worry about. Here, let’s have a drink.” “Rather heavy, isn’t it?” Blythe as he picked up one of the bags. “What’s that noise inside?”
With that he whipped a knife out of his pocket, and, cutting the mouth of the sack, poured its contents on the table. Mixed up with a certain quantity of bran was a glittering service of silver plate that gleamed invitingly in the lamplight. “Oh-h,” Blythe cried. “Oh-h. I don’t seem to know everything yet. Perhaps one of you gentlemen will kindly explain. Really, this is a bigger thing than, in my innocence. I expected.”
