"And to think that he might have been warned.

If only I had told you to wait outside the restaurant!" "Do you know who it was who telephoned to you, sir ?" Arnold asked.
"No idea--no idea at all," Mr.Weatherley declared.

"Some one rang up and told me that Mr.Rosario was engaged to lunch in the Grill Room with my wife.

I don't know who it was--didn't recognize the voice from Adam--but the person went on to say that it would be a very great service indeed to Mr.Rosario if some one could stop him from lunching there to-day.

Can't think why they telephoned to me." "If Mr.Rosario were lunching with your wife," Arnold pointed out, "it would be perfectly easy for her to get him to go somewhere else if she knew of the message, whereas he might have refused an ordinary warning." "You haven't heard the motive even hinted at, I suppose ?" Mr.
Weatherley asked.
"Not as yet," Arnold replied.
