to Burgess for this thing and that.
First there was Inspector Mutton

doctors, looking very grave and
rather important.

At Burgess's suggestion the doc

specialists arrived from London,

Major Blenlinsopp arrived on a fast
car which had wasted no time.
AFTER hearing the doctors report
he went up to the sick-room for a
few minutes in order identify Lord
Bullingdon, whom he happened to
know slightly personally and very
well by sight-the first actual per
sonal Observation-Disclosures to make
certain that there could be no mis-
take. O.. ...
Then he took Burgess off to the
library. which had been handed
over TO the police as headquarters;
and. after carefully going into his
personal story, he interviewed In
spector Mutton and the Scotland
Yard men, and heard all that they
had to report.
A little over an hour later the
London doctors arrived, with two
nurses in a second car; and, after
a few words with the local doctors,
they all went up to the sick-room.
Watching it there in the hall.
and occasionally entering into a bit

Soon after eleven, however, the
doctors adjourned once more to the
sick chamber--and came down
again o few minutes later with
, nothing fresh to report beyond
the fact that all was quiet and ap-
parently going on as well as pos
sible. So we armed them with long
cigars and packed them into their
car and dispatched them to town,
Sir Humphrey promising to be
down about three the next after
noon.
Shortly after DR.. Forbes left, and
the four Of US sat round the fire for
a final smoke before going to bed.
The talk was very interesting, turn
ing principally upon crime, espe-
ciaIly mysteries undiscovered and
those supposed by the public to
have been undiscovered because UNI
revealed In the papers. So got no
chance Of any private personal talk
with Burgess.
At one o'clock, after o final re-
port on Lord Bullingdon's condi-
tion, we, all went of to bed pretty
well tired out. Burgess showed us
