"And he might take a fancy that Elreno would be the last place where he would be expected to appear, and so he would go there."

He might go so far as to take the train to Elreno from some place that would make it seem that he could not have been in the locality where the hold-up was committed. If he were to come into Elreno on this train, for instance, it would be a blind."
