I daresay that's what he did yesterday.

You see, all last week we were at Northborough.

That, like Norcaster, is a coast town--there's fifty miles between them.

If he followed out his usual plan he'd probably hire a motor-car and follow the coast-road, and if he came to any place that was of special interest, he'd stop there.

But--in the usual way of things--he'd have turned up at his rooms at the 'Angel' hotel here last night.
