Have I seen you before ?" The man shook his head.

"I am a cousin of Doctor Schmidt.

I arrived in the Colony from Rhodesia, after your Excellency had left." "And how is the doctor ?" "My cousin is, as always, busy but in excellent health," was the reply.
"He sends his respectful compliments and his good wishes.

Also this letter." With a little flourish the man produced an envelope inscribed: To Sir Everard Dominey, Baronet, Dominey Hall, In the County of Norfolk, England.
Dominey broke the seal just as Seaman entered.
"A messenger here from Doctor Schmidt, an acquaintance of mine in East Africa," he announced.

"Mr.Seaman came home from South Africa with me," he explained to his visitor.
The two men looked steadily into each other's eyes.
