The Beckett auto was ready, but the dog's joy was too big for the biggest car, so Brian and I walked to the château, and Jack Curtis with us, to exchange stories of le grand chien policier, late "Sherlock." Matching the new history on to the early mystery was like fitting in the lost bits of a jigsaw puzzle bits which, when missing, left the picture void.
Ledyard watched the unflinching face and noted the even voice. He was so near he had caught Helen's words. "And that is all, mother?" "All, dear." "I'll be home soon. Good night." Then he looked up at Ledyard, and the older man's face softened. "You'll find this sort of thing is a devil of a jigsaw. It cuts in all directions," he said, laying his hand on Travers's shoulder. "Yes, doesn't it?
But why not sell the produce at a higher price? Because at a higher price the consumer can't afford to buy it.

An irregular portion like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle would be cut out of it and the rest, perhaps more than half of his work, would be destroyed. It was even possible that all of it was destroyed. Dewforth worked for a firm which made components. Of what, no one said, no one asked. Components, Inc., the firm was called.
The question of women's labour will not be grave at first because there will be work for all and more than all, but the jigsaw puzzle which industry will have to put together will try the nerves and temper of the whole community.
