The City in the Clouds. Thorne Guy

      "I never telephoned. When do you mean?"

      "Not very long ago, Sir Thomas," he said, "I didn't take particular notice of the time, somewhere between one o'clock and now."

      I was on the alert at once, though I could not have particularly said why.

      "Are you quite sure that it was I who 'phoned?"

      "But, yes," he answered, "it was your voice, Sir Thomas. You said you were speaking from the office."

      "From the Evening Special? I've not been there since late afternoon. And when have I ever been there so late? There's never more than one person there all night long until six in the morning. It's not a morning paper as you know."
