"You don't mean to say," I cried, in amazement, "that that tottering, feeble old woman was able to get out of the cab while it was in motion, without either you or the driver seeing her?" YOU DON'T MEAN TO SAY I CRIED IN AMAZEMENT THAT THAT TOTTERING FEEBLE OLD WOMAN WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAB WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION WITHOUT EITHER YOU OR THE DRIVER SEEING HER
eard at the other side of the street, ‘Drive to 13, Duncan Street, Houndsditch,’ she cried. This begins to look genuine, I thought, and having seen her safely inside, I perched myself behind. That’s an art which every detective should be an expert at. Well, away we rattled, and never drew rein until we reached the street in question. I hopped off before we came to the door, and strolled down the street in an easy, lounging way. I saw the cab pull up. The driver jumped down, and I saw him open the door and stand expectantly. Nothing came out though. When I reached him he was groping about frantically in the empty cab, and giving vent to the finest assorted collection of oaths that ever I listened to. There was no sign or trace of his passenger, and I fear it will be some time before he gets his fare. On inquiring at Number 13 we found that the house belonged to a respectable paperhanger, named Keswick, and that no one of the name either of Sawyer or Dennis had ever been heard of there.”  OUT LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET DRIVE TO THIRTEEN DUNCAN STREET HOUNDS DITCH SHE CRIED THIS BEGINS TO LOOK GENUINE I THOUGHT AND HAVING SEEN HER SAFELY INSIDE I PERCHED MYSELF BEHIND THAT'S AN ART WHICH EVERY DETECTIVE SHOULD BE AN EXPERT HAT WELL AWAY WE RATTLED AND NEVER DREW REIN UNTIL WE REACHED THE STREET IN QUESTION I HOPPED OFF BEFORE WE CAME TO THE DOOR AND STROLLED DOWN THE STREET IN AN EASY LOUNGING WAY I SAW THE CAB PULL UP THE DRIVER JUMP DOWN AND I SAW HIM OPEN THE DOOR AND STAND EXPECTANTLY NOTHING CAME OUT THOUGH WHEN I REACHED HIM HE WAS GROPING ABOUT FRANTICALLY IN THE EMPTY CAB AND GIVING VENT TO THE FINEST ASSORTED COLLECTION OF OATHS THAT EVER I LISTENED TO THERE WAS NO SIGN OR TRACE OF HIS PASSENGER AND I FEAR IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE HE GETS HIS FARE ON INQUIRING AT NO THIRTEEN WE FOUND THAT THE HOUSE BELONGED TO A RESPECTABLE PAPER HANGER NAMED KEZAK AND THAT NO ONE OF THE NAME EITHER OF SAWYER OR DENIS HAD EVER BEEN HEARD OF THERE
