“Very smartly dressed, sir⁠—quite the gentleman. Dark clothes⁠—nothing you would note.”

“He gave no name?”

“No, sir.”

“And has had no letters or callers?”

“None.”

“But surely you or the girl enter his room of a morning?”

“No, sir; he looks after himself entirely.”

“Dear me! that is certainly remarkable. What about his luggage?”

“He had one big brown bag with him⁠—nothing else.”

“Well, we don’t seem to have much material to help us. Do you say nothing has come out of that room⁠—absolutely nothing?”
