And their five bases, as Pépe showed upon the table with bread-crumbs, were set at Gallowstree Dip, in the hollow half-way between "The Goat in Boots" and Ecclesthorpe; again, hard by the railway-junction of Harthborough; thirdly, at the joining of the Ecclesthorpe parish-road with the highway to London; fourthly, between this and Millsborough, at "The Coach and Horses" Inn; and fifth, by Margetstowe village, where the woodland track from Monkswood Cottage runs into the seaward road over against "The Goat in Boots."
I give you the information, and add my private opinion that it was something worse than an accident. That's all. It's up to you to put your police on the job, not to disturb a traveller that wasn't even in the man's compartment. Ask this fellow here, who was in it. Most likely he's got no ticket, running it fine as they did at Harthborough.
I should guess that they turned off the road at the hawthorns and the white stone, and drove straight on to Harthborough." "They've had time to go and come back," said Dick.

"But they don't know we're here," she objected. "They don't know anything. If we turn off towards Harthborough Junction, or if anyone leaves the brake to walk that way, they'll follow." "Wasn't there to be a picket at Harthborough itself?" asked the girl. "Yes. But they haven't made contact with it yet, and don't even know whether it's arrived.
He changed his seat to face her from the opposite corner; looked at his watch, and thereafter gazed steadily from the window with down-bent eyes for so long that Amaryllis grew bored and nervous. "Two minutes to do a mile," he said at last, having again looked at his watch. "It's fifteen minutes since we left Harthborough seven miles and a half.
A train's the safest place for us, and, if Melchard's seen his picket there after driving right over this ground, he won't be expecting to find us on the way back." "He may be between us and Harthborough now," said Amaryllis. "If we can pass him, then," said Dick, "his Harthborough picket won't give us much trouble. Our other way is the London road.
