In the circumstances, Derrick was not uncomfortably lodged.

The lock-up was an ancient, knock-down affair, and the Inspector had arranged that Derrick should occupy one of the rooms in the adjoining police-station.
Here, Mr.Jacobs and Mr.Clendon found him, if not altogether resigned to the situation, at any rate not cast down or despondent.
"Well, here we are," said Mr.Jacobs, cheerfully.

"I hope they've made you as comfortable as possible, Mr .-- Green.

I've brought a friend of yours with me, and I have a message from another friend of yours, Miss Grant.

She says she will pay you a visit whenever you like to see her." Derrick shook his head.
