When Inspector Armadale presented himself at the Chief Constable's office next morning he found Sir Clinton still faithful to his proposed policy of pooling all the facts of the case.
"I've just been in communication with the coroner," Sir Clinton explained. "I've pointed out to him that possibly we may have further evidence for the inquest on Foss; and I suggested that he might confine himself to formalities as far as possible and then adjourn for a day or two. It means keeping Marden and the chauffeur here for a little longer; but they can stay at Ravensthorpe. Miss Chacewater has no objections to that. She agreed at once when I asked her."
