“Dash it all, Bundle, I mean⁠—someone might get hurt.”

Bundle turned round to Jimmy.

“How much have you told him?”

“Oh! everything.”

“I haven’t got the hang of it all yet,” confessed Bill. “You in that place in Seven Dials and all that.” He looked at her unhappily. “I say, Bundle, I wish you wouldn’t.”

“Wouldn’t what?”

“Get mixed up in these sort of things.”

“Why not?” said Bundle. “They’re exciting.”

“Oh, yes⁠—exciting. But they may be damnably dangerous. Look at poor old Ronny.”
