FROM THE PERSONAL JOURNAL OF PHILIP TYERS

Still no word from MH or G. I do not know whether I should report this to anyone, for with MH’s suspicions, it may play directly into the hands of the conspirators to inform the police of this development. The devil of it is, I cannot reach MH either, and so I cannot inform him that one of the two decoys used for Prince Oscar has been shot as he reached Dover. The second double remains unharmed, at least so far. This only confirms MH’s certainty that HHPO is in danger and is likely to remain so.

Sutton has suggested that we keep on as we were instructed. He will go to the Diogenes Club on schedule, and maintain the illusion that MH is following his habitual routine. Sutton believes if anyone is party to the conspiracy, he will betray himself when MH appears to be keeping to his routine. I do not know that I am wholly in accord with Sutton; but as I cannot yet determine what is best to do, I will run along to King’s Cross and see if I can learn anything about the Flying Scotsman. There may have been word received at the station, and if there is, I will discover it.

The shooting of the double worries me, for it suggests that the assassin is still at large. The only consolation I have is that so long as the shooting took place in Dover, the assassin cannot possibly be on the train to Edinburgh. I wish I could so inform MH. It would not be much assurance, but at such a time, it would undoubtedly be welcome news.
