Ashton-Kirk turned to Stumph.
"Tell Dixon to wait."
Instantly the man opened the door; the chauffeur was upon the point of starting away, but halted upon hearing Stumph's voice.
"What trains are there?" asked Ashton-Kirk of Drevenoff.
"No more to-night," answered the man. "I had hoped to find you before the last one left."
"No matter—the motor will do."
Followed by the others, he hastily reached the car; Fuller seated himself beside Dixon and Drevenoff entered the tonneau with the secret agent.
"Fordham Road, Eastbury," directed Ashton-Kirk. "The number is 2979."
The car wheeled in its own length under the skilful hand of Dixon; then it went speeding away.
