"His profession," the Inspector repeated. "Mr. Vanderpole was attached to the American Embassy, was he not?" "I believe so," Penelope answered. "Mr. Hamilton Fynes," the Inspector continued, "might almost have been said to have followed the same occupation." "Surely not!" Penelope objected. "I always understood that Mr.
"But, as it happens, after your mysterious disappearance I told the Fynes the story of our meeting." Her eyes raised to mine had an expression of dreamy, unfathomable candour, if I dare say so. And if you wonder what I mean I can only say that I have seen the sea wear such an expression on one or two occasions shortly before sunrise on a calm, fresh day.
"How any one in their senses could believe that there was any connection between me and Hamilton Fynes or that other young swell, I can't imagine." "You knew Hamilton Fynes," Mr. Gaynsforth remarked. "That fact came out at the inquest. You appeared to have known him better than most men. Mr. Vanderpole had just left you when he was murdered, that also came out at the inquest."
These horsemen wear black clothes, and poor though they be, spend no small time in brushing them. The most of them have black horses,... and delight to have their boots and shoes shine with blacking stuff, their hands and faces become black, and thereof they have their foresaid name."... Fynes Morrison's Itinerary.
Also how do we know but that the interloping fellow Fynes is an agent for a whisky firm perhaps? Couldn't he, then, on suspicion, be arrested with " The Clerk of the Court shook his head mournfully.

"Well," he declared, "you detectives do get to know things, don't you?" "Nothing so remarkable in that, Mr. Coulson," Inspector Jacks remarked pleasantly. "A newspaper man had been before me, I see." Mr. Coulson nodded. "That's so," he admitted.
I mean this materially in the light of an unshaded lamp. Our mental conclusions depend so much on momentary physical sensations don't they? If the lamp had been shaded I should perhaps have gone home after expressing politely my concern at the Fynes' unpleasant predicament. Losing a girl-friend in that manner is unpleasant. It is also mysterious.
How and where the Fynes got all these pretty creatures to come and stay with them I can't imagine. I had at first the wild suspicion that they were obtained to amuse Fyne. But I soon discovered that he could hardly tell one from the other, though obviously their presence met with his solemn approval. These girls in fact came for Mrs. Fyne. They treated her with admiring deference.
"I want to know how Japan became assured that America had no intention of going to war with her. In other words, I want to know whether those papers which were stolen from Fynes and poor Dicky found their way to the Japanese Embassy or into the hands of Prince Maiyo himself." "Anything else?" she asked with a faint note of sarcasm in her tone. "Yes," Mr. Harvey replied, "there is something else.
"Heseltine thinks there's something behind this correspondence," the Prime Minister said slowly. "Washington was very secretive about the man Fynes' identity. I found that out from Scotland Yard. Do you know, I'm half inclined to think, although I can't get a word out of Harvey, that this man Fynes " The Prime Minister hesitated. "Well?" the Duke asked a little impatiently.
