So
you
say
,
consul
,
"
asked
he
for
the
twentieth
time
,
"
that
this
steamer
is
never
behind
time
?
"
"
No
,
Mr.
Fix
,
"
replied
the
consul
.
"
She
was
bespoken
yesterday
at
Port
Said
,
and
the
rest
of
the
way
is
of
no
account
to
such
a
craft
.
I
repeat
that
the
Mongolia
has
been
in
advance
of
the
time
required
by
the
company
's
regulations
,
and
gained
the
prize
awarded
for
excess
of
speed
.
"
"
Does
she
come
directly
from
Brindisi
?
"
"
Directly
from
Brindisi
;
she
takes
on
the
Indian
mails
there
,
and
she
left
there
Saturday
at
five
p.
m.
Have
patience
,
Mr.
Fix
;
she
will
not
be
late
.
But
really
,
I
do
n't
see
how
,
from
the
description
you
have
,
you
will
be
able
to
recognise
your
man
,
even
if
he
is
on
board
the
Mongolia
.
"
"
A
man
rather
feels
the
presence
of
these
fellows
,
consul
,
than
recognises
them
.
You
must
have
a
scent
for
them
,
and
a
scent
is
like
a
sixth
sense
which
combines
hearing
,
seeing
,
and
smelling
.
I
've
arrested
more
than
one
of
these
gentlemen
in
my
time
,
and
,
if
my
thief
is
on
board
,
I
'll
answer
for
it
;
he
'll
not
slip
through
my
fingers
.
"
"
I
hope
so
,
Mr.
Fix
,
for
it
was
a
heavy
robbery
.
"
"
A
magnificent
robbery
,
consul
;
fifty-five
thousand
pounds
!
We
do
n't
often
have
such
windfalls
.
Burglars
are
getting
to
be
so
contemptible
nowadays
!
A
fellow
gets
hung
for
a
handful
of
shillings
!
"
"
Mr.
Fix
,
"
said
the
consul
,
"
I
like
your
way
of
talking
,
and
hope
you
'll
succeed
;
but
I
fear
you
will
find
it
far
from
easy
.
Do
n't
you
see
,
the
description
which
you
have
there
has
a
singular
resemblance
to
an
honest
man
?
"
"
Consul
,
"
remarked
the
detective
,
dogmatically
,
"
great
robbers
always
resemble
honest
folks
.
Fellows
who
have
rascally
faces
have
only
one
course
to
take
,
and
that
is
to
remain
honest
;
otherwise
they
would
be
arrested
off-hand
.
The
artistic
thing
is
,
to
unmask
honest
countenances
;
it
's
no
light
task
,
I
admit
,
but
a
real
art
.
"
Mr.
Fix
evidently
was
not
wanting
in
a
tinge
of
self-conceit
.
