I know nothing whatever about him." "What was the nature of his illness ?" inquired the chief constable.
"It had some of the symptoms of a seizure," replied Sir Henry guardedly.
"I begged him, when he recovered, not to leave his room.

I even offered to communicate with his friends, by telephone, if he would give me their address, but he refused." "It is a pity he did not take your advice," responded the chief constable.

"He appears to have left the hotel shortly after his illness, and walked along the coast to a little hamlet called Flegne, about ten miles from here.

He reached there in the evening, and put up at the village inn, the _Golden Anchor_, for the night.

He left early in the morning, before anybody was up.
