Both men agreed, and Hanaud went away. He left Mr. Ricardo
profoundly disturbed. "That man will take advice from no one," he
declared. "His vanity is colossal. It is true they are not
particular at the Swiss Frontier. Still the car would have to stop
there. At the Custom House they would know something. Hanaud ought
to make inquiries." But neither Ricardo nor Harry Wethermill heard
a word more from Hanaud that night.
