Conclusion\n\nThe manager of the new Imperial Restaurant on the Thames Embankment went\r\ninto his luxurious private office and shut the door. Having done so, he\r\nfirst scratched his chin reflectively, and then took a letter from the\r\ndrawer in which it had reposed for more than two months and perused it\r\ncarefully. Though he was not aware of it, this was the thirtieth time he\r\nhad read it since breakfast that morning. And yet he was not a whit\r\nnearer understanding it than he had been at the beginning. He turned it\r\nover and scrutinized the back, where not a sign of writing was to be\r\nseen; he held it up to the window, as if he might hope to discover\r\nsomething from the water-mark; but there was nothing in either of these\r\nplaces of a nature calculated to set his troubled mind at rest. Then he\r\ntook a magnificent repeater watch from his waistcoat pocket and glanced\r\nat the dial; the hands stood at half-past seven.
