Jimmy had a day or two in which to ponder over the strange conversation he had had with his queer old landlord and to draw his deduction therefrom. By the time that Gaskell was on his way home again, Jimmy had begun to see his way. If this theory was correct, then he was on the verge of a startling discovery. But as to whether or not it would turn out as favorable as he hoped was on the lap of the gods.
He had been rather surprised to have heard nothing from Gaskell in the shape of the promised telegram, and on the fourth day Hugh's chauffeur turned up with the car and the information that Gaskell wanted to see Jimmy without delay and would he make it convenient to run over as soon as possible. Five minutes later, Jimmy was racing along the road.
