It was about eleven the next morning when Merrick received the following note, brought by a boatman:
"DEAR MERRICK, -- Am I commissioned? If not, don't trouble, but if / I am, be just outside Lostella, at the turning before you come to / the Smack Inn, at two o'clock. Bring with you a light cart, a / policeman -- or two perhaps will be better -- and a man with a spade. / There will probably be a little cabbage-digging. Are you fond of / the sport? -- Yours, / / MARTIN HEWITT.
