The Ends of the Earth
“‘Lemmer thinks I’m dead,’ Max explained. ‘He must go on thinking that as long as possible.’‘My lips are sealed, my boy.’ It was touching, in its way, to see how eager Brigham was to protect Max. It was also infuriating, since Max had no wish to lend credence to Brigham’s conviction that he was his father by exploiting it. But exploit it he had to.‘We’ll leave you to your house-hunting for the present,’ said Appleby. ‘I’d like you to stay in Geneva until you hear from me again.’‘Very well. I’m p...utting up at the Beau Rivage.’‘I won’t keep you waiting long.’‘Where are you going now?’‘East.’‘Is that all you’re going to tell me?’‘I’ll tell you what you need to know when you need to know it and not before. That’ll be in your best interests as well as ours.’‘There’s something in your tone I’m never going to grow fond of, Appleby.’‘But you’ll play your part?’‘Whatever it is, yes.’ Brigham was looking at Max when he added, ‘You can count on me.’Max did not conceal his doubts about the wisdom of enlisting Brigham in their cause.MoreLess
