"I haven't got the story myself yet, though I've been inside, and had a look around.

Inspector Clayton discovered the crime, and reported it at headquarters.

I was at my desk in the office when the news came, and, as you know the interest I've taken in the Gray Seal, I decided to 'cover' it myself.

When I got here, Clayton hadn't returned from headquarters, so, as you seemed so keenly interested last week, I telephoned you.

If Clayton's back now we'll get the details.
