We've had him in here two or three times.

He used to be a taxi-driver--didn't you know that ?" Tarling did not know that.

He had intended looking up Sam's record that day, but something had occurred to put the matter out of his mind.
"Well, he can't go far," he said.

"You'll circulate the description of the cab, I suppose?
