‘No. Just the usual papers. And letters.’

‘Oh, he had letters?’

‘Yes; the usual odd two or three that people carry. One was from a girl saying she would wait for him. She’s going to wait some time.’

‘Were the letters in French?’

‘Yes.’

‘What money had he?’

‘Wait a minute till I find my notes. Um—m—m. Twenty-two, ten, in mixed notes; eighteen and tuppence ha’penny in silver and copper.’

‘All English?’

‘Yes.’

‘Between the lack of passport and the English currency it looks as if he had been in England a good long time. I wonder why no one came to claim him.’
