Wendover was awakened next morning in an unfamiliar bedroom to find Sir Clinton at his side. The Chief Constable's eyes were tired, as though he had had very little sleep; but otherwise he seemed as alert as usual.
"Come on, Squire! " he said. "Dress as quick as you can. You needn't mind shaving for once. You've been clamouring for the arrest of the murderer for long enough now, so I thought you'd like to be in at the death. I've got an appointment with him this morning; so you'd better hurry up if you want to see the last scenes in the Whistlefield dramatic entertainment."
