Pheeney had left the previous afternoon somewhere
about five and had not returned. Not by the police - that I can swear, said
Dick.
Lew looked round the room, out of the window,
everywhere except at Dick. You are the worlds best detective, and if ever I lose
anything, I am sending immediately for you. He took it from under his coat and
handed it to her.
Tommy, but in my bright lexicon there is no such
word as reform.
Indeed, the first thought he had was its extreme
simplicity. I was - I got one hundred and fifty pounds on account. Youre the very
man - it is curious I did not think of you. By heavens, Ill furnish you a hobby
thatll save me a lot of sleepless nights!
I dont want to talk about it, but the locks beat
me. One night he met me, introduced himself, and I went to his house - brr! Indeed,
the first thought he had was its extreme simplicity. All he wanted to do was to take
a peep at something.
No reason at all, except my suspicious mind, smiled
Mr Havelock.
Curiously enough, I was on the edge of it today.
Can you spare me a moment whilst I see Dr Stalletti?
The commissioner says youre leaving the police
force tomorrow, and that you want a hobby.
His linen was speckless; his clothes were the
product of a West End tailor. No reason at all, except my suspicious mind, smiled Mr
Havelock.
Is this er - er - uniform that your employer
prefers?
Now, Lew, let me hear the truth - what was the work
you were doing on Tuesday night?
He took it from under his coat and handed it to
her. He says I am the best chauffeur he ever had.
He gulped down a cup of hot coffee and pushed cup
and saucer away from him. Tommy was in no sense abashed, I just happened to call
round to see my old friend Stalletti. The voice was harsh, with just a suggestion of
a foreign accent.
His housekeeper had neither seen nor heard from the
visitor.
It is, she emphatically; but not invariably
punished as such. I really dont think the books worth bothering about, but I suppose
my word doesnt go very far. I dont know your friend, but youve got it wrong, said
Tommy hazily. She stopped suddenly and looked at the desk. To the clerk who
answered: Send a man to pick up Pheeney and bring him here.
