I opened the letter.
“Read the name, Mr. Blake, that I have written inside.”
I read the name that he had written. It was—Godfrey Ablewhite.
“Now,” said the Sergeant, “come with me, and look at the man on the bed.”
I went with him, and looked at the man on the bed.
GODFREY ABLEWHITE!

Dorking, Surrey, July 30th, 1849. To Franklin Blake, Esq. Sir,—I beg to apologise for the delay that has occurred in the production of the Report, with which I engaged to furnish you. I have waited to make it a complete Report; and I have been met, here and there, by obstacles which it was only possible to remove by some little expenditure of patience and time.
