The Abate had granted them immediate audience, and they were now in close conference.,“Mr. Whitney? Oh, you mean ‘Whiskers,’ who put the engineering bug into Bob’s head, last year. We found him up the river at the cave. Would you like to go up there?”,“Sure,” he said. “Let’s go to it. If we get through we’ll know what we want to know.
