And on the writing table in the outer office they found a note addressed to Miss Annie Kenney, which said inside: "Dear Annie.

If you should chance to look in between your many imprisonments and find me out, you will know I am away on the Firm's business, livening up the racing establishments of the Right Honble Sir -- -- -- --, Bart.Bart.No one knows anything about this at No.

94." (This note was purely unnecessary--a bit of swagger perhaps, lest Miss Kenney should think Vivie never did anything dangerous, but only planned dangerous escapades for others.

Like the long letter of Vivie to Michael Rossiter, written on the last day of December, 1910, which he had imperfectly destroyed, it was a reminder of that all-too-true saying: "Litera scripta manet.") If the outer door of Michaelis's office was locked how could Miss Kenney be expected to call and find this note awaiting her?
Why, _here_ came in the "No.

94" of the scrap of paper.
