“
Have
you
ever
known
him
ill
?
”
“
Not
a
day
.
He
has
been
laid
up
with
a
hack
,
and
once
he
slipped
his
knee
-
cap
,
but
that
was
nothing
.
”
“
Perhaps
he
was
not
so
strong
as
you
suppose
.
I
should
think
he
may
have
had
some
secret
trouble
.
With
your
assent
,
I
will
put
one
or
two
of
these
papers
in
my
pocket
,
in
case
they
should
bear
upon
our
future
inquiry
.

“
One
moment
—
one
moment
!
”
cried
a
querulous
voice
,
and
we
looked
up
to
find
a
queer
little
old
man
,
jerking
and
twitching
in
the
doorway
.
He
was
dressed
in
rusty
black
,
with
a
very
broad
-
brimmed
top
-
hat
and
a
loose
white
necktie
—
the
whole
effect
being
that
of
a
very
rustic
parson
or
of
an
undertaker
’
s
mute
.
Yet
,
in
spite
of
his
shabby
and
even
absurd
appearance
,
his
voice
had
a
sharp
crackle
,
and
his
manner
a
quick
intensity
which
commanded
attention
.
“
Who
are
you
,
sir
,
and
by
what
right
do
you
touch
this
gentleman
’
s
papers
?
”
he
asked
.
“
I
am
a
private
detective
,
and
I
am
endeavouring
to
explain
his
disappearance
.

Oh

This

Mr

Staunton

Yard
