      "Don't go down Hempdon way again, and tell no one in theneighbourhood; no one, you understand, is to know anything aboutit. Don't tell the general, for instance."

      "Him!" There was a world of hatred and contempt in the inspector'svoice. Then he glanced a little oddly at Malcolm Sage.

      Malcolm Sage went on to elaborate his instructions.

      "I think so," said the inspector, in a tone which was suggestivethat he was very far from understanding.
