He got away in the confusion following the raid, and has been hiding ever since with a cousin, a nurseryman out Upminster way..." "Hiding?" snapped Smith. "Exactly hiding. He has been afraid to stir ever since, and has scarcely shown his nose outside the door. He says he is watched night and day." "Then how..."
He turned to me with an impatient gesture. "Weymouth has driven into Upminster," he snapped; "and the whole district will be scoured before morning. They probably motored here, but the sounds of the shots will have enabled whoever was with the car to make good his escape. And exhausted from loss of blood, its capture is only a matter of time, Petrie." Nayland Smith returned from the telephone.
Smith, imitate Burke and ride down to Upminster under the empty boxes." Nayland Smith stood up, leaving his breakfast half finished, and began to wander up and down the room, reflectively tugging at his ear. Then he began to fumble in the pockets of his dressing-gown and finally produced the inevitable pipe, dilapidated pouch, and box of safety matches.
They had hardly time for any more words, for Mrs. Anderton had already put off her departure by the seven-twenty train from Applewood to Upminster on purpose to wait for Halcyone, and now proposed to catch the one at nine o'clock her fly still waited in the courtyard and they made rapid arrangements.
He told her all his plans: how he had given notice for the license, and that it would be forthcoming. And he explained that he had chosen Bristol rather than Upminster because in this latter place everyone would know the name of La Sarthe even the registrar's clerk and whoever else they would secure as a witness but in Bristol it might pass unnoticed.

Would he live or die?
I got the hump the minute Ellen left Edinburgh. I felt I must come down to you at once, so I went and got the cycle and started off straight away, and I would have been here by midnight if I hadn't had a smash at Upminster. No, I wasn't hurt. Not a scrap. It was at the beginning of that garden suburb. God, it must be beastly living in those new houses; like beginning to colour a pipe.
