On arriving at Lloyd's at ten o'clock on the same morning, Marshall found among his letters a typewritten envelope of uncommercial size and shape. Out of curiosity, he opened it the first. The communication enclosed was typed on small, feminine notepaper, and was neither addressed nor signed. It was, in fact, anonymous. Before reading it, he turned again to the envelope, to inspect the postmark. It was stamped Worthing. The only person he could think of as staying at Worthing was Judge.
He read the following words: "If Mr. Stokes is interested to know how Miss L--spends her time during his temporary absences, it might be as well for him to inquire at Runhill Court. There is every reason to believe that she will be there to-morrow (Friday) morning before lunch, for the _third time this week,_ and he may consider the matter of sufficient importance to justify his presence there on the same occasion. Should it not be _before_ lunch, it may be _after._ It is believed that there are rooms in the house which are not easy to discover."
