“Then we have located our man.”
“And we’ll be sure of it, if Lannigan comes with Mrs. Ladew here.”
“I presume,” said Nick, “if we are right, that they are busy now in restoring Ellison to consciousness.”
“Our trick,” said Chick, “is to wait here and watch for the coming of Lannigan with Mrs. Ladew.”
It was half-past ten by this time and, according to their calculations, Lannigan could not reach there before eleven.
They settled themselves for the wait, and promptly on the hour of their calculations they saw a coach round the corner.
The doors in the fence swung open again, and as the coach turned into the gate Nick and Chick sprang behind and close to it.
The wheels had not rolled over the sidewalk before Patsy came up on a run and joined them.
As the coach cleared the gates they were swung to as before. But not quickly enough to shut out the three detectives.
The moment it stopped the door of the coach was opened and Lannigan stepped out.
