Synopsis: HE WAS CHARGED WITH A MISSION THAT COULD COST HIM HIS LIFE. Hamilton folded his hands over his waistcoat. "Arrange passage for yourself on the first merchantman sailing for France. Go to Paris and see the marquis de Lafayette. He's one of the best friends this country has ever had, and he's fully aware of all the details of my plan. He'll give you all necessary instructions." Jeremy was astonished. "You're telling me nothing more?" "Only that your mission will take you to France, then on to the Ottoman Empire. Be good enough to mention nothing of this meeting to anyone. It would suit my purpose perfectly if you seemed to vanish from the face of the earth without a trace. And Morgan"-Hamilton cleared his throat-"this time it would be unwise of you to deviate from the path of duty. If you succeed, no reward will be too great. But if you fail... don't come back."
