“Better send a shrewd detective at once.”
“Anything more?”
“No.”
“I will go to Elmwood.”
“When?”
“This evening. I can get a train at five o’clock, which will set me down at Elmwood about eight.”
“Good. You will find our man, Foster, at the best hotel in the town.”
“No. I want you to recall your man immediately. He must not be there when I arrive.”
“But you’ll be gone before he can reach New York.”
“Yes. We’ll probably pass each other on the way.”
