Then id himself around In his 3St a 1 was the two by the heels: but unless by midday we had picked up some definite clue, then Geoffrey and Barley would leave for Salzburg by train, whilst I remained at Plumage, lying low during the daytime and patrolling the roads about Yorick from dust to dawn. And I give you my word, said Geoffrey, If only youll mind your step, I think youre more likely to get there than Barley and I. Weve got to search a city, and we dont know where to begin. But your field Is much more narrow. In the first place, Yorick s a loadstone, and Bugle and Rush will naturally turn that way. . , , But you simply must watch your step. Youre out to get Information, not to attack. If you find them, you must not strike: lie down and see them home, and then drive all out for Salzburg and Barley and me. Will you give me your word to do that? And always to be back at Plumage before Its light? I gave him my solemn word, but I knew In my heart that he would never have left me If he had thought It likely that I should find Bugle and Rush, and that, though he disliked the Idea of my working alone, he was doing his best to choose the lesser evil and to keep me away from Pharaoh at any price. Thanks to my ladys foresight, we could now send word to Yorick without any waste of time, and before we left the next morning our groom was on his way to the castle, bearing a note from my cousin In which he had set out our plan. It was barely eight oclock when we ran Into Annabel. By Geoffreys direction I stopped the car at cross roads out of sight of The Reaping Hook: then he and Barley descended and walked as far as the forge which was walling one side of the forecourt that graced the inn; and there Geoffrey stood by the corner while Barley walked up to the house. As luck would have It, a servant was washing the stepsr and a word from Barley brought him to Geoffreys Suddenly I knew that I was In love. That night was very dark, and I would have given a lot to have seen but once by daylight the roads that I was to patrol: quite apart from picking my way, I could see no track or turning until I was actually there. It follows that after ten minutes the only Idea I had left was to get to where Sabre was waiting at the mouth of the castle drive: and this, after great tribulation, I t found about ten. I overran it, of course. However, I knew I was right, so I stopped the engine and listened and then stepped Into the road. I was hastening back In the shadows when I suddenly found half-pas- side. Then my cousin turned and waved, and I brought up the Rolls, for, as we had fully expected, the birds were flown. One minute later we were speaking to the host and his wife. . . . Now we had had no doubt that the moment we questioned their late undesirable guests, the two would be only too ready to talk themselves hoarse: but we were strange," he said.

At once I turned, to make my way back to the car, but the dog did not turn with me and when I put my hand on his collar, he would not move. I had not begun my patrol: the Rolls was out In the open; and Sabre refused to move. If he would not come. . , , I perceived that the first thing to do was to get the Rolls , off the road.
