Inspector Goodall motioned towards Anthony and Peter. "These two gentlemen have traveled down with me, Sergeant Clegg. They have been sent for by Mr. Charles Stewart."
He introduced them. Sergeant Clegg was visibly impressed. "Pleased to meet you, gentlemen," he announced-"though it's a sad business, to be sure, that has thrown us together. " He turned to the Inspector. "I've taken the trouble to book a room for you, Inspector, at the ‘Red Dolphin'-quite an excellent place. What will you do-go straight there for now, and start work in the morning, or would you prefer to get into your stride at once? " He looked somewhat anxiously at Goodall as though he attached very great importance to his decision.
