"Where is Battersea?" asked Jen, glancing round. Jen rose to leave the room, more wounded than he chose to confess. Off they raced, and came panting into the station, to find the express ten minutes late, and David just stepping from the platform of the still moving line of cars. "I think so; it is my belief, David, that Dr. Etwald killed Maurice!".
