Snow lost certainly no time in carrying out the instructions that Archenfield had given him. Being a lawyer, he was accustomed to all sorts of strange requests, and he asked no questions, knowing full well that Archenfield was not the man to embark upon any quixotic enterprise, and that he had the best of reasons for the request that he was making. As a matter of fact, Snow had the greatest admiration for Archenfield and his methods, and was only too anxious to cooperate with him in the heavy task that lay before him.
Therefore he got on to his client in London without delay, and at the end of a few minutes' conversation was in possession of instructions to act as he thought fit in connection with the racing stable and Flint's connection therewith. It was barely an hour later before Flint received a note informing him that his presence was desired in Oxley without delay on an important matter of business, and Snow chuckled to himself as he signed the letter in question.
