I want, he said to the salesman who came forward, to buy a second-hand machine. Can you let me see some?
I believe so, monsieur. If you will take a seat, Ill inquire.
Burnleys list then read as follows:
Please forward immediately to the above address.
The clerk recognised that this would be irregular, but his curiosity was keenly aroused and he hesitated.
Quite, except for the housekeeper.
The butler entered the room holding a slip of paper which he gave to Lefarge.
He was delighted at his success. The more he thought of it, the more certain he felt that Boiracs fault-finding was merely an excuse to get rid of the typewriter. And the manufacturer had dismissed Mlle. Lambert simply because she knew too much. If inquiries were made in the office, he would be safer with her out of the way.
She staggered back as if from a blow and collapsed into her chair, and turned her now pallid face to me.
It is curious, monsieur, that you should ask me that, for I dont remember mentioning anything about it. I also thought at first it was Calais. I thought the operator said Calais wants you, and I was surprised, for I did not know M. Boirac intended to leave Paris. But I was wrong, for when M. Boirac began to speak I asked him the direct question. You are speaking from Calais? I said. No, he answered, from Charenton. I am sure now it was my mistake and that what I thought was Calais was really Charenton. I am not very quick and on the telephone these names sound very much alike.

The point is important. Perhaps Mrs. Murphy would remember?
But what was the object of all these journeys? If his purpose was to get rid of the body, why would he first get rid of it, and then arrange an elaborate scheme to bring it back again?
Did these gentlemen converse together while in the bus?
I have thought over that, he said somewhat hesitatingly, and I have worked out a possible theory. It is, of course, pure guesswork, but it fits a number of the facts.
But you unexpectedly got away about eleven?
The study was a typical mans room, except in one respect. There was the usual thick carpet on the floor, the customary book-lined walls, the elaborate desk in the window, and the huge leather arm-chairs. But there was also what almost amounted to a collection of statuaryfigures, groups, friezes, plaques, and reliefs, in marble and bronze. A valuable lot, numerous enough and of sufficient excellence not to have disgraced the art galleries of a city. M. Boirac had clearly the knowledge, as well as the means, to indulge his hobby to a very full extent.
They took a taxi and, leaving the Luxembourg behind on the left, quickly ran the mile or so to the Boulevard Arago. M. Lachaise received them at once and they stated their melancholy business, showing the photograph of the body. The avocat took it to the light and examined it earnestly. Then he returned it with a gesture of relief.
Yes?
It was now nearly seven, and, as they waited, they heard his latchkey in the door.
But what on earth would Watty want with the cask? He could not know there was money in it.
