'He locks himself up most of the day in his study. 'Does he come out for lunch? 'No; he lights a little spirit lamp inside, Podgers tells me, and makes himself a cup of coffee, which he takes with a sandwich or two.
Details are the only things that interest. What is going to happen to Lord Arthur? 'Well, within the next few months Lord Arthur will go a voyage 'Oh yes, his honeymoon, of course! 'And lose a relative. 'Not his sister, I hope? said Lady Jedburgh, in a piteous tone of voice. 'Certainly not his sister, answered Mr. Podgers, with a deprecating wave of the hand, 'a distant relative merely.
I will call upon you at half-past three o'clock exactly, and then I want you to take me upstairs to the clerk's bedroom in the third story, which I suppose is not locked during the daytime?

'Yes, Monsieur Valmont, it is, but he makes it up in the evening, when he has a long dinner with all them foreign kickshaws you people like, done by his French cook. 'Sensible man! Well, Hale, I see I shall look forward with pleasure to making the acquaintance of Mr. Summertrees. Is there any restriction on the going and coming of your man Podgers?
