One other thing happened that night, or rather in the morning before it was properly light. I was sound asleep when I was awakened by a tapping at my door. I called a “Come in!” and grabbed my glasses with one hand and switched on the bed light with the other. It was Harris.

“Sorry to disturb you, sir, but you’re wanted on the telephone.”

“The hell I am,” I said peevishly. “Who is it, Harris?”

“Inspector Goodman, sir.”

“I’ll be right down,” I said, and got into a dressing-gown. My wrist-watch said it was a quarter-past six.

“Travers here,” I said into the receiver.

“This is Goodman, sir. About our friend Preston. He hasn’t been home all night.”

“The devil he hasn’t!” I said. “What are you doing about it?”

“Going along now to have a look inside. I wondered if you’d like to join us. In, say, half an hour’s time.”

As a matter of fact I was there before Goodman arrived.
