In the morning, Hannay is greeted with more intrigue from Bullivant. Royer, the Frenchman in possession of the key intelligence wanted by the Black Stone, is set to meet with Bullivant and three other military men in Bullivant's home that night.

Hannay is however not invited to the meeting. The top military and political figures are set on a particular well thought out course of action and despite Hannay's concerns they believe that The Black Stone will not be able to penetrate their inner circle although they do admit that there is some concern as to how they have gained so much information this far.
