“Your loving wife,

“SUZANNE.”

Superintendent Blundell listened aghast; then snatched the paper from Wimsey, as though he mistrusted his translation and thought to tear out some better meaning from the words by mere force of staring at them.

“Little Pierre—nine years old—kisses to their papa—and the red cow’s dead—t’cha!” He did a little arithmetic on his fingers. “Nine years ago, Cranton was in gaol.”

“Step-father, perhaps?” suggested Wimsey.

Mr. Blundell paid no heed. “Spring sowing—since when has Cranton turned farmer? And what’s all that about military authorities? And the War. Cranton never was in the War. There’s something here I can’t make head or tail of. See here, my lord—this can’t be Cranton. It’s silly, that’s what it is. It can’t be Cranton.”

“It begins to look as if it wasn’t,” said Wimsey. “But I still think it was Cranton I met on New Year’s Day.”

“I’d better get on the telephone to London,” said Mr. Blundell. “And then I’ll have to be seeing the Chief Constable about this. Whatever it is, it’s got to be followed up. Driver’s disappeared and we’ve found a body that looks like his and we’ve got to do something about it. But France—well, there! How we’re to find this Suzanne I don’t know, and it’ll cost a mint of money.”
