‘We soon shall have,’ said Fatty. He turned over the page. ‘SUSPECTS’ was what he printed there.
‘We don’t know any of those yet either,’ said Daisy. ‘And I’m sure I don’t know how we’re going to find any.’
‘Leave it to me,’ said Fatty. ‘We’ll soon have something to work on.’
‘Yes, but what?’ said Pip. ‘I mean, it’s no use looking for footprints or cigarette-ends or dropped hankies or anything like that. There’s just nothing at all we can find for clues.’
‘There’s one very important thing,’ said Fatty.
‘What’s that?’ said everyone.
‘That anonymous letter,’ said Fatty. ‘It’s most important we should get a glimpse of it. Most important!’
‘Who’s got it?’ asked Larry.
‘My mother might have it,’ said Pip.
‘More likely Gladys has got it,’ said Fatty.
