When
I
first
came
to
London
I
had
bought
a
car
and
amused
myself
with
running
about
the
south
of
England
,
so
I
knew
something
of
the
geography
.
I
took
Sir
Walter
to
town
by
the
Bath
Road
and
made
good
going
.
It
was
a
soft
breathless
June
morning
,
with
a
promise
of
sultriness
later
,
but
it
was
delicious
enough
swinging
through
the
little
towns
with
their
freshly
watered
streets
,
and
past
the
summer
gardens
of
the
Thames
valley
.
I
landed
Sir
Walter
at
his
house
in
Queen
Anne
's
Gate
punctually
by
half-past
eleven
.
The
butler
was
coming
up
by
train
with
the
luggage
.
The
first
thing
he
did
was
to
take
me
round
to
Scotland
Yard
.
There
we
saw
a
prim
gentleman
,
with
a
clean-shaven
,
lawyer
's
face
.
"
I
've
brought
you
the
Portland
Place
murderer
,
"
was
Sir
Walter
's
introduction
.
The
reply
was
a
wry
smile
.
"
It
would
have
been
a
welcome
present
,
Bullivant
.
This
,
I
presume
,
is
Mr
Richard
Hannay
,
who
for
some
days
greatly
interested
my
department
.
"
"
Mr
Hannay
will
interest
it
again
.
He
has
much
to
tell
you
,
but
not
today
.
For
certain
grave
reasons
his
tale
must
wait
for
four
hours
.
Then
,
I
can
promise
you
,
you
will
be
entertained
and
possibly
edified
.
I
want
you
to
assure
Mr
Hannay
that
he
will
suffer
no
further
inconvenience
.
"
This
assurance
was
promptly
given
.
"
You
can
take
up
your
life
where
you
left
off
,
"
I
was
told
.
"
Your
flat
,
which
probably
you
no
longer
wish
to
occupy
,
is
waiting
for
you
,
and
your
man
is
still
there
.
As
you
were
never
publicly
accused
,
we
considered
that
there
was
no
need
of
a
public
exculpation
.
But
on
that
,
of
course
,
you
must
please
yourself
.
"
"
We
may
want
your
assistance
later
on
,
MacGillivray
,
"
Sir
Walter
said
as
we
left
.
Then
he
turned
me
loose
.
"
Come
and
see
me
tomorrow
,
Hannay
.
I
need
n't
tell
you
to
keep
deadly
quiet
.
If
I
were
you
I
would
go
to
bed
,
for
you
must
have
considerable
arrears
of
sleep
to
overtake
.
You
had
better
lie
low
,
for
if
one
of
your
Black
Stone
friends
saw
you
there
might
be
trouble
.
