As soon as Old Mr. Cobb exited, Adam Wood's voice echoed through the study: "Come in!"
Henry Wood walked in, only to see Adam Wood sitting at the head of the table, drinking tea.
"You've been here since the afternoon."
"Aren't you afraid that if something happens to Zachary Jones, he'll rat you out?"
