Inspector Haynes, a first-rate man, is on this station now and plays the Devil with them! Well, my lads! How are you to-night, my lads? Playing cards here, eh? Who wins? Why, Mr.
"Yes, I heard you, but I don't know what you are talking about." Quick decisions are required from every member of the Criminal Investigation Department, and Detective Inspector Wessex came to one now.

Still, that isn't our affair. You want to put the responsibility on the police and I entirely agree with you." "There ought not to be any delay," said I. "There needn't be.

"Ah, no doubt, and also to belated friends," said the Inspector, "not to mention the effect on servant-maids in the morning when people forgot to disconnect the wires."
