At three o'clock that same afternoon Inspector Tanner stepped from the train at St. Pancras. He had telephoned to the Yard before leaving Halford, and, as a result, one of his men was awaiting him on the platform.
"Ah, Hilton," the Inspector greeted him. "I want you to go over to Knightsbridge and look up a man for me -- a Mr. Cosgrove Ponson who has rooms at Number 174B. All you need find out is whether or not he is at home. I'll follow you round in a couple of hours, and you can report to me there."
