Tarling glanced at the address.
"So this is where the young lady lives, eh?
Miss Odette Rider, 27, Carrymore Buildings, Edgware Road." "It is a clan house, where many people live," said Ling Chu.

"I myself went, in your honourable service, and saw people coming in and going out interminably, and never the same people did I see twice." "It is what they call in English a 'flat building,' Ling," said Tarling with a little smile.

"What did the Man with the Cunning Face say to my letter ?" "Master, he said nothing.

He just read and read, and then he made a face like this." Ling gave an imitation of Mr.Milburgh's smile.

"And then he wrote as you see." Tarling nodded.
