‘He would crush the rest of them under his heel and rampage across Europe again,’ Richard agreed. ‘We have to make sure that Thierry doesn’t carry out this plan of his to have the Regent and Wellington murdered.’

‘God knows where he gets all his money from. He came here with virtually nothing, but my agents report that he always seems to be flush in the pockets.’

‘Gambling, I dare say,’ Richard said. ‘You know the score—lure a flat into a game that’s too deep for him and take everything he has. Men like that do not hesitate to cheat their intended victims. I know of at least one case involving a man who was driven to desperate measures because of Thierry’s threats.’

‘He is a dangerous man, Richard. My superiors have spoken of having him disposed of, but they want to learn as much as they can of his activities first.’

‘Murder?’ Richard frowned. ‘You are not expecting me to do your dirty work for you, I hope? I won’t murder for you, Rawlings.’

‘I didn’t expect you would,’ his companion replied. ‘Fortunately, there are others not so nice in their scruples. When the time comes he will be dealt with—we just need the names of his friends.’

‘And that is where I come in, I suppose?’

‘Exactly,’ Sir Michael Rawlings, secret agent and government adviser, said. ‘I can give you a clue—there is a tavern they are known to frequent. We need you to follow Thierry the next time he goes there to a meeting. We want the names of the men he meets—where they live, what they do, if you can get it—but we must have the information soon.’
