"You can't start on a business like this without evolving something out of it, you know." "Well," said Breton, "to me there's not so much mystery in it.

Mr.
Aylmore's explained the reason why my address was found on the body; Criedir, the stamp-man, has explained--" Spargo suddenly looked up.
"What ?" he said sharply.
"Why, the reason of Marbury's being found where he was found," replied Breton.

"Of course, I see it all! Marbury was mooning around Fleet Street; he slipped into Middle Temple Lane, late as it was, just to see where old Cardlestone hangs out, and he was set upon and done for.

The thing's plain to me.

The only thing now is to find who did it." "Yes, that's it," agreed Spargo.
