My Lady Nicotine

CHAPTER XXIV
21/79

I did not like, however, to mention the subject to Colonel Goring again, so I contrived to find the album while he was out of the smoking-room.

The number of the photograph and the address of the photographer were all I wanted; but just as I had got the photograph out of the album my host returned.
I slipped the thing quickly into my pocket, and he gave me no chance of replacing it.

Thus it was owing to an accident that I carried the photograph away.

My theft rendered me no assistance.

True, the photographer's name and address were there; but when I went to the place mentioned it had disappeared to make way for 'residential chambers.' I have a few other Cambridge friends here, and I showed some of these the photograph.
