Said process ranges over the present and future proceedings of your disconsolate friends, and of the lawyers who are helping them to find you.

Their present proceedings are, in all probability, assuming the following form: the lawyer's clerk has given you up at Mr.Huxtable's, and has also, by this time, given you up, after careful inquiry, at all the hotels.

His last chance is that you may send for your box to the cloak-room--you don't send for it--and there the clerk is to-night (thanks to Captain Wragge and Rosemary Lane) at the end of his resources.

He will forthwith communicate that fact to his employers in London; and those employers (don't be alarmed!) will apply for help to the detective police.

Allowing for inevitable delays, a professional spy, with all his wits about him, and with those handbills to help him privately in identifying you, will be here certainly not later than the day after tomorrow--possibly earlier.
