Jack was about to protest, thought better of it and said simply:
"Very well, sir."
A moment later the lads took their departure with the ambassador. In the
seclusion of the latter's automobile, Jack said:
"I can't see how the secretary dares let time slip by like that."
"Never mind," said the ambassador, "you'll find in a day or two that

Jack joined him at the window.
"Now what's up, do you suppose?" asked Frank.
"Too deep for me," declared Jack, "but something surely. Let's go down and
find out."
