Branford was seen with the actor Jack Delarue last night. I imagine they quarrelled, for she returned alone, much agitated, in a taxi-cab. Any way you look at it, the clues are promising whether she needed money for Branford's speculations or for the financing of that rake Delarue."
They locked up the house securely there's no doubt of that and just went. That is, they all went except Mrs. Branford's maid, who refused to go for some reason or other. We've got all the servants, but there's not a clue to be had from any of them. They just went off on a bust, that's clear. They admit it.

Branford's definition of occupation as "any and every form of human endeavour, past, present, and future," we see that occupation must have a large place in the description, explanation, and forecasting of the evolution of cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee in the scheme of survey outlined so sweepingly in "Civics."
"Now, Walter," he said after he had ransacked the house, "there remains just one place. Here is this little wall safe in Mrs. Branford's room. We must open it." For an hour if not longer he worked over the combination, listening to the fall of the tumblers in the lock.
