"This fellow Twist burgled our house last night. And all the while you're keeping me shut up here he's getting away."
"Is that so, sir? What house would that be?"
"Rudge Hall."
"Never heard of it."
"It's near Rudge-in-the-Vale. Twenty miles from here. Mr. Carmody's place."
"Mr. Lester Carmody who was here taking the cure?"
"Yes. I'm his nephew."
"His nephew, eh?"
"Yes."
"Come, come!"
