Goulburn awakens in a sealed Harley Street chamber guarded by two brutal men. He is marched through corridors to a boardroom where Dr Van Mildart and two others reveal a secretive society extorting money from the wealthy. They threaten to dissolve a partnership as leverage.
The clipped dialogue shows Dr Van Mildart and accomplice threatening Goulburn in a London scene. They insist the captive, his partner Betty and Mr Christopher Avpulll are in their power, detailing possible starvation or harm to enforce control. The passage ends with a tease of continuation.
The article argues for preserving and expanding sheep production as vital to national welfare and rural economy.
