E is seen two hours later following the Captain up to London by the
next train." She seemed to be considering
it. "How many people," she said, "know that
Charlie was in that train? People that matter--I don't mean you and
Norah."
"Your butler, your
parlourmaid, your housemaid, your cook, your gardener--by this

on to London, as I meant to and as everybody knows I meant to,
it'll be all right." "It won't," I said, "as long as Charlie's there.
It will be if you come home with us in the
car now, and go up to town with Norah and me on Monday."
"I've told you," she said wearily, "that I can't go back because I
