The Hand of Justice
“They watched Wynewyk nod quickly to someone, as though concluding a discussion, then glance around quickly before leaving. Wynewyk was not very good at conducting secret business without being seen, for he did not notice that Michael was observing his antics intently. But compared to Paxtone, who left their hiding place openly, as though there was nothing odd about two grown men crushed into a small place and muttering together, he was a veritable master of discretion.
While Paxtone headed ...for the Trumpington Gate, Wynewyk went north, but balked when he saw his Michaelhouse colleagues. He crossed the High Street so their paths would not meet.
