'What sort of favour Neville?' she demanded sharply.

'

'Nothing too painful,' he assured her, giving a soft, satisfied laugh as she capitulated. 'Some business friends of mine are interested in buying this place—at the right price of course.' He saw her expression and laughed softly, 'Oh come on, Lucy, don't give me that look. All I want you to do is to drop a word in old Patterson's ear that you've heard of someone who's interested in buyfrfg the place. He thinks a lot of you—he's always had a soft spot for you. As far as we know no one else is interested in buying.'

'So why go about making your offer in such an underhand way?' Lucy asked hotly. 'Why not approach Saul openly and honestly?'

Neville laughed jeeringly. 'Oh come on—you know the answer to that.

He'd never sell this place to us if he knew I was involved.

Lucy knew that Neville spoke the truth. On the surface his request seemed perfectly feasible .. . and yet . . . 'What is it exactly you want me to do?' she asked him suspiciously.

'I just want you to have a word with old Patterson and find out if anyone else is interested and if so ...'

'You said they weren't,' Lucy reminded him sharply, watching him shift uncomfortably from one foot to the other. She didn't trust Neville; his request, on the surface so reasonable, seemed to her to be just an excuse, a front to hide his real purpose behind, but unless she played along with him a little she would have absolutely no chance of discovering what that purpose was. And she wanted to find out because instinctively she knew it threatened Saul.

'Come on Lucy, you owe me a favour.'
