What's wrong?" he demanded. The veteran chief detective-inspector pulled at his moustache. "I don't know, sir, yet. You've come just in time. Waverley is missing. "Waverley missing! That's nonsense. He was put on to relieve Norman in shadowing Ivan Abramovitch." "He's missing," repeated the other doggedly.
The unscrewed lock of the door of the top back-room required little examination. In the room below the trap-door was a dusty table on which stood a chair, and at the other side of the table sat Detective-Inspector Plummer, whom Hewitt knew very well, and who bade him "good-day" and then went on with his docket. "This chair and table were found as they are now, I take it?" Hewitt asked.
As these friendly reminiscences were being indulged in, I drew nearer, and was introduced to Detective-Inspector Japp, who, in his turn, introduced us both to his companion, Superintendent Summerhaye. "I need hardly ask what you are doing here, gentlemen," remarked Poirot. Japp closed one eye knowingly. "No, indeed. Pretty clear case I should say."
Pedro showed him in to where the three of us were seated, and: "Good evening, gentlemen," said he, "here I am, as arranged, but as I am up to my eyes in work on the case, I will ask you, Mr. Harley, to carry out this experiment of yours as quickly as possible."

"Is Detective-Inspector Dunbar here?" inquired the physician. "Yes, sir." "Say that Dr. Cumberly wishes to speak to him. And" as the man was about to depart "request him not to arouse Mr. Leroux." Almost immediately the inspector appeared, a look of surprise upon his face, which increased on perceiving the girl beside her father.
It was at the height of the excitement, and, as I have said, two days after the return of Hewitt and myself from Throckham, when the case of the Burnt Barn had been disposed of, that Detective-Inspector Plummer called. I was in Hewitt's office at the time, having, in fact, called in on my way to learn if he had heard more from Mr.

The detective had already made up his mind about the case and his course regarding it. He put no curious questions; he merely inquired concerning the identity and the condition of the lady.
In the street they met the sergeant with a gendarme bringing in the unfortunate man with the guitar, who was just breathing, and in whom the officials had recognised a detective-inspector. Without letting go of the youth, the green man bent forward to the sergeant and had a brief but animated conversation with him. "Yes, sir, that's all," the sergeant said respectfully; "I haven't anyone else."
The detective-inspector in charge stared at a corpulent man clad in a Norfolk jacket, knickerbockers of brown tweed, whose heavy boots clanged along the corridor.
