I do not think that I shall need to look much further than the Castle for the solution of this problem, though there's no telling.

At any rate, I should like to have exhausted all the possibilities of the Castle before I leave it.

I'll see her ladyship about it at once," said Mrs.Carruthers quickly.
"And would you ask her if she feels equal to seeing me yet ?" "Certainly, Mr.Flexen; and if she does, I'll let you know at once," she said and went through the door.
Mr.Flexen was considering the new facts she had given him, when about three minutes later Inspector Perkins returned; and Mr.Flexen bade him find William Roper and bring him to him without delay.

The inspector departed briskly.
