Thorndyke about these nervous troubles of yours," said Mr. Brodribb presently. "I hope you don't mind. He is an old friend, you know, and he is very much interested." "It is very good of him," said Calverley. Then he flushed deeply, and added: "But they are not really nervous, you know. They can't be merely subjective." "You think they can't be?" said Thorndyke. "No, I am sure they are not."
Now a person standing at A does not see his own reflection at all; but if some other person is standing in the other closet at B, A sees the reflection of B apparently at B 1 that is, in the identical position that his own reflection occupied when the mirror was straight across." "I see now," said Brodribb; "but who set up this apparatus, and why was it done?"
Besides, it is one of the most interesting cases that I have ever met with, and I am not going to see it bungled. He couldn't object to a little general advice in a friendly, informal way amicus curiae, as old Brodribb is so fond of saying; and there is nothing to prevent us from pushing forward the preliminary inquiries." "Of what nature would they be?"
"You are really an extraordinarily polite fellow, Thorndyke," said Mr. Brodribb. "I know," replied Thorndyke. "But why this reference to an admitted fact?" "The truth has just dawned on me," said the solicitor.
With this mysterious request, he slipped out of the room as silently as he had come, unperceived either by Calverley or the lawyer. "Has Captain Raggerton returned with you?" Brodribb was inquiring. "No, he has gone into the town," was the reply; "but he won't be long. This will be a frightful shock to him." At this point I stepped forward. "Have you shown Mr.
Oh, and here is a note, Polton, which I want you to take round to Scotland Yard. It is to the Assistant Commissioner, and you are to make sure that it is in the right hands before you leave. And here is a telegram to Mr. Brodribb." He dropped the keys and the tool-case into his pocket, and we went down together to the waiting hansom. At Weybridge Station we found Mr.

Odd lengths of trenches here and there, cellars in every direction were filled with bombers and machine gun teams, some facing West, others, who had realised our intentions, facing East. Led by Lieut. Brodribb and their platoon commanders, "A" Company dashed in with the bayonet.
A.E. Brodribb was also a keen bomber who would stand at a post and send back bomb for bomb until he had the Boche beaten. Meanwhile the Battalion anarchists, though they had bad luck with the "West" spring gun, which got buried in the bombardment, were very successful in other ways.
Calverley the extraordinary letter that the deceased left for you?" I asked. "What letter was that?" demanded Calverley, with a start. Mr. Brodribb drew forth the note and handed it to him. As he read it through, Calverley turned white to the lips, and the paper trembled in his hand. "'He has beckoned to me, and I must go," he read. Then, with a furtive glance at the lawyer: "Who had beckoned?
He flushed again like a girl, and looked earnestly at Thorndyke with his big, dreamy eyes. "But you doctors," he said, "are so dreadfully sceptical of all spiritual phenomena. You are such materialists." "Yes," said Mr. Brodribb; "the doctors are not hot on the supernatural, and that's the fact." "Supposing you tell us about your experiences," said Thorndyke persuasively.
