In a grim and narrow house in Lambeth a man sits eating kippers and reading the daily paper. He has just finished eating and is sipping his coffee when a slight noise at the front door catches his ear.

And, as if he knew what he would find, he shuts the door and turns to the hat-stand in the hall. An envelope has been placed there.
