- Sir Percy Blakeney: Good work. Where's Ffoulkes?
- Lord Richard Hastings: Blakeney, I'm afraid...
- Sir Percy Blakeney: What's the matter? Where's Ffoulkes?
- Lord Richard Hastings: They caught up with us. I'm afraid they may have got him.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: What happened?
- Lord Richard Hastings: He was badly wounded so he jumped off the coach so as not to hinder our escape.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Do you think he's dead?
- Lord Richard Hastings: I don't know, Blakeney.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Where did this happen?
- Lord Richard Hastings: Just outside Paris on the road to Neuilly.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Supposing he was able to get back to Paris, where... where do you think he might hide?
- Lord Richard Hastings: There was that girl, Collette. He might have gone back to there. It's what I'm worried about.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Would she betray him?
- Lord Richard Hastings: She might. You see, after she got the coach for us, I paid her.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Yes?
- Lord Richard Hastings: There was still an English guinea in my pocket.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Hastings, how often have I told you not to carry English money!
- Lord Richard Hastings: If anything's happened to Ffoulkes I'm to blame! Let me go after him, Blakeney.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: If anybody's going to find Andrew, I am. If he's dead...
- Lord Richard Hastings: What are you going to do?
- Sir Percy Blakeney: I'm going first to my headquarters. If he's alive, he's bound to leave a message there. If I'm not back in five days, sail for England without me.
