He had been down at his club in the library, writing the last paragraphs of his diver's story, when, just as he finished, Sargeant discovered him. "Why, Conny, old man, all alone here? Let's go downstairs and have a cigar. Hendricks and George Hands are coming around in half an hour. They told me not to let you get away."
