At a quarter to one in the morning Cranmere's big, grey, low-built car slid noiselessly along Wigmore Street and drew up at the entrance to one of the most imposing-looking houses in Cumberland Place.
The imposing footman got down and rang the bell -- he pressed the button four times in succession, as "Lord Cranmere" had told him to do. Almost at once the door was opened, and from the car window we saw a tall man in knee-breeches silhouetted, while a little way behind him stood another man. "Lord Cranmere" stepped out of the car, and we followed him -- "Baron Poppenheimer" and "Sir Aubrey Belston. " In point of fact, the real Sir Aubrey Belston was at that moment somewhere in the Malay States, making a tour of the world.
