Well
,
gentlemen
,
I
ca
n't
think
of
anywhere
else
.
Of
course
,
there
's
the
Ruff
--
"
"
What
's
that
?
"
I
asked
.
"
The
big
chalk
headland
in
Kent
,
close
to
Bradgate
.
It
's
got
a
lot
of
villas
on
the
top
,
and
some
of
the
houses
have
staircases
down
to
a
private
beach
.
It
's
a
very
high-toned
sort
of
place
,
and
the
residents
there
like
to
keep
by
themselves
.
"
I
tore
open
the
Tide
Tables
and
found
Bradgate
.
High
tide
there
was
at
10.27
p.m.
on
the
15th
of
June
.
"
We
're
on
the
scent
at
last
,
"
I
cried
excitedly
.
"
How
can
I
find
out
what
is
the
tide
at
the
Ruff
?
"
"
I
can
tell
you
that
,
sir
,
"
said
the
coastguard
man
.
"
I
once
was
lent
a
house
there
in
this
very
month
,
and
I
used
to
go
out
at
night
to
the
deep-sea
fishing
.
The
tide
's
ten
minutes
before
Bradgate
.
"
I
closed
the
book
and
looked
round
at
the
company
.
"
If
one
of
those
staircases
has
thirty-nine
steps
we
have
solved
the
mystery
,
gentlemen
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
want
the
loan
of
your
car
,
Sir
Walter
,
and
a
map
of
the
roads
.
If
Mr
MacGillivray
will
spare
me
ten
minutes
,
I
think
we
can
prepare
something
for
tomorrow
.
"
It
was
ridiculous
in
me
to
take
charge
of
the
business
like
this
,
but
they
did
n't
seem
to
mind
,
and
after
all
I
had
been
in
the
show
from
the
start
.
Besides
,
I
was
used
to
rough
jobs
,
and
these
eminent
gentlemen
were
too
clever
not
to
see
it
.
It
was
General
Royer
who
gave
me
my
commission
.
"
I
for
one
,
"
he
said
,
"
am
content
to
leave
the
matter
in
Mr
Hannay
's
hands
"
