'Quite right. 'When he purchased his ticket for Haslemere, you did the same. 'I did. 'When you arrived at Haslemere, you sent a telegram to your friend, Dr Watson, telling him of your whereabouts. 'You are wrong there; I ran after the motor car. 'You certainly sent a telegram from somewhere, to someone, or at least dropped a note in the post-box.
In his soul he knew he was not acting truly; that had he honestly loved the truth, he would not have played hocus-pocus with metaphysics and logic, but would have made haste to a manly conclusion. He took the package, and on his way to the dining-room, dropped it into the post-box in the hall.
We are pleased the letters have gone and by so direct a route. As the boats were leaving the ship the captain called out, "The letters are not stamped." Repetto called back, "All you have to do is to put them in the post-box as they are." We can never stamp letters as there are no stamps here. And if there were stamps they would be of no use because we never know where the letters will be posted.
They would cross the square and at once discover the masterpiece in stone. They went. They looked at the St. George and at the bronze St. Mark. Dechartre saw again on the wall the post-box, and he recalled with painful exactitude the little gloved hand that had dropped the letter. He thought it hideous, that copper mouth which had swallowed Therese's secret.
"Excellently. Do you know where Sir James is?" It seemed to him the question was significantly asked. He gave it a cold answer. "Not at this moment. He was in the smoking-room a little while ago."

She was becoming frightened and anxious. Was he secretly married? She wished she had thought of that possibility before she posted the letter.
"The night is young," he said; and his smile was radiant. "May I hope that your expedition does not terminate at this post-box?" Helen glanced at him doubtfully, and then down at her jersey. Gianapolis was unfeignedly delighted with her naivete. "Surely you don't want to be seen with me in this extraordinary costume!" she challenged. "My dear Miss Cumberly, it is simply enchanting!
It will catch precisely the same post as it would have done if you'd put it in the post-box when you meant to." "Kitty! How can you suggest such a thing!" cried Nan, in horrified tones. "If if I'd posted it unknowingly and it had reached him after the accident it would have been bad enough! But to post it now, deliberately, when I know, would be absolutely wicked and brutal."
I write in the hope that you may possibly possess some of the generosity which you have several times denied that I can lay claim to. I will keep whatever appointment you may make at any time and any place, And this letter she addressed to Hugh Alston at Hurst Dormer, and presently went out, bareheaded, into the roadway, and with her own hands dropped it into the post-box.
