"And now we want to know who he is." "God bless my soul! Dead?
You don't say so!" exclaimed Mr.Dellingham.
"Dear, dear! Well, I can't help you--don't know him from Adam.

Pleasant, well-informed man--seemed to have travelled a great deal in foreign countries.

I can tell you this much, though," he went on, as if a sudden recollection had come to him; "I gathered that he'd only just arrived in England--in fact, now I come to think of it, he said as much.

Made some remark in the train about the pleasantness of the English landscape, don't you know ?--I got an idea that he'd recently come from some country where trees and hedges and green fields aren't much in evidence.

But--if you want to know who he is, officer, why don't you search him?
He's sure to have papers, cards, and so on about him." "We have searched him," answered Mitchington.
