There
again
I
am
in
doubt
.
He
might
choose
to
deny
that
he
wrote
it
.
"
"
At
any
rate
,
"
said
I
,
"
this
warning
is
meant
in
a
friendly
spirit
,
and
I
should
certainly
act
upon
it
.
Are
the
present
precautions
enough
to
insure
you
against
robbery
?
"
"
I
should
have
thought
so
.
The
public
are
only
admitted
from
ten
till
five
,
and
there
is
a
guardian
to
every
two
rooms
.
He
stands
at
the
door
between
them
,
and
so
commands
them
both
.
"
"
But
at
night
?
"
"
When
the
public
are
gone
,
we
at
once
put
up
the
great
iron
shutters
,
which
are
absolutely
burglar
-
proof
.
The
watchman
is
a
capable
fellow
.
He
sits
in
the
lodge
,
but
he
walks
round
every
three
hours
.
We
keep
one
electric
light
burning
in
each
room
all
night
.
"
"
It
is
difficult
to
suggest
anything
more
—
short
of
keeping
your
day
watches
all
night
.
"
"
We
could
not
afford
that
.
"
"
At
least
,
I
should
communicate
with
the
police
,
and
have
a
special
constable
put
on
outside
in
Belmore
Street
,
"
said
I
.
"
As
to
the
letter
,
if
the
writer
wishes
to
be
anonymous
,
I
think
he
has
a
right
to
remain
so
.
We
must
trust
to
the
future
to
show
some
reason
for
the
curious
course
which
he
has
adopted
.
"
So
we
dismissed
the
subject
,
but
all
that
night
after
my
return
to
my
chambers
I
was
puzzling
my
brain
as
to
what
possible
motive
Professor
Andreas
could
have
for
writing
an
anonymous
warning
letter
to
his
successor
—
for
that
the
writing
was
his
was
as
certain
to
me
as
if
I
had
seen
him
actually
doing
it
.
He
foresaw
some
danger
to
the
collection
.
Was
it
because
he
foresaw
it
that
he
abandoned
his
charge
of
it
?
But
if
so
,
why
should
he
hesitate
to
warn
Mortimer
in
his
own
name
?
I
puzzled
and
puzzled
until
at
last
I
fell
into
a
troubled
sleep
,
which
carried
me
beyond
my
usual
hour
of
rising
.
