THE AUTHOR OF "TRIXIE"
Vicar of Old Kensington, there was only one thing to be done and Mr. Turton did it.
He telephoned forthwith to Sir John Dubbs and said: "Sir John, I have a letter from Archdeacon Roach, asking me to form a committee to investigate an important question of literary authorship. Apparently the principal piece of evidence is in the Sloane Street Safe Deposit, and we are invited to attend there so as to be present at its production. It occurs to me that a certain amount of publicity can be worked in connection with this rather unusual"
"Count on me," said Sir John at the other end of the wire. "Any day, any time, my dear Turton, and thanks for thinking of me."
"Then," said Mr. Turton, "to-morrow at midday," and rang off.
