For

I
suggested
.
“
Ah
,
”
said
Parker
,
“
our
criminal
expert
’
s
attention
is
aroused
!
Unburden
yourself
to
him
,
Mrs
.
Robinson
.
Hastings
is
a
great
unraveller
of
mysteries
.
”
I
laughed
,
embarrassed
but
not
wholly
displeased
with
the
rôle
thrust
upon
me
.
“
Oh
,
not
really
queer
,
Captain
Hastings
,
but
when
we
went
to
the
agents
,
Stosser
and
Paul
—
we
hadn
’
t
tried
them
before
because
they
only
have
the
expensive
Mayfair
flats
,
but
we
thought
at
any
rate
it
would
do
no
harm
—
everything
they
offered
us
was
four
and
five
hundred
a
year
,
or
else
huge
premiums
,
and
then
,
just
as
we
were
going
,
they
mentioned
that
they
had
a
flat
at
eighty
,
but
that
they
doubted
if
it
would
be
any
good
our
going
there
,
because
it
had
been
on
their
books
some
time
and
they
had
sent
so
many
people
to
see
it
that
it
was
almost
sure
to
be
taken
—
‘
snapped
up
’
as
the
clerk
put
it
—
only
people
were
so
tiresome
in
not
letting
them
know
,
and
then
they
went
on
sending
,
and
people
get
annoyed
at
being
sent
to
a
place
that
had
,
perhaps
,
been
let
some
time
.
”
Mrs
.
Robinson
paused
for
some
much
needed
breath
,
and
then
continued
:
“
We
thanked
him
,
and
said
that
we
quite
understood
it
would
probably
be
no
good
,
but
that
we
should
like
an
order
all
the
same
—
just
in
case
.
And
we
went
there
straight
away
in
a
taxi
,
for
,
after
all
,
you
never
know
.
No

4
was
on
the
second
floor
,
and
just
as
we
were
waiting
for
the
lift
,
Elsie
Ferguson
—
she
’
s
a
friend
of
mine
,
Captain
Hastings
,
and
they
are
looking
for
a
flat
too
—
came
hurrying
down
the
stairs
.
‘
Ahead
of
you
for
once
,
my
dear
,
’
she
said
.
‘
But
it
’
s
no
good
.
It
’
s
already
let
.
’
That
seemed
to
finish
it
,
but
—
well
,
as
John
said
,
the
place
was
very
cheap
,
we
could
afford
to
give
more
,
and
perhaps
if
we
offered
a
premium
.
—
—
A
horrid
thing
to
do
,
of
course
,
and
I
feel
quite
ashamed
of
telling
you
,
but
you
know
what
flat
-
hunting
is
.
”
I
assured
her
that
I
was
well
aware
that
in
the
struggle
for
house
-
room
the
baser
side
of
human
nature
frequently
triumphed
over
the
higher
,
and
that
the
well
-
known
rule
of
dog
eat
dog
always
applied
.
“
So
we
went
up
and
,
would
you
believe
it
,
the
flat
wasn
’
t
let
at
all
.
We
were
shown
over
it
by
the
maid
,
and
then
we
saw
the
mistress
,
and
the
thing
was
settled
then
and
there
.
Immediate
possession
and
fifty
pounds
for
the
furniture
.
We
signed
the
agreement
next
day
,
and
we
are
to
move
in
to
-
morrow
!
”
Mrs
.
Robinson
paused
triumphantly
.
“
And
what
about
Mrs
.
Ferguson
?
”
asked
Parker
.
“
Let
’
s
have
your
deductions
,
Hastings
.
”
“
‘
Obvious
,
my
dear
Watson
,
’
”
I
quoted
lightly
.
“
She
went
to
the
wrong
flat
.
