I suppose I'd better go and see Blackburn now." Mr Blackburn was in his study.

"Now you're not to lose that," she impressed upon me. Even if it's years from now, I assure you Beau and I won't have forgotten you. As for your address " "I haven't any," I said.
He put his visiting-card in the beast's mouth and paddled swiftly back.
