"At last, one evening I was driving up and down Torquay Terrace, as the street was called in which they boarded, when I saw a cab drive up to their door. Presently some luggage was brought out, and after a time Drebber and Stangerson followed it, and drove off. AT LAST ONE EVENING I WAS DRIVING UP AND DOWN TORQUAY'S ARRAS AS THE STREET WAS CALLED IN WHICH THEY BOARDED WHEN I SAW A CAB DRIVE UP TO THEIR DOOR PRESENTLY SOME LUGGAGE WAS BROUGHT OUT AND AFTER A TIME DREBBER AND STANGERSON FOLLOWED IT AND DROVE OFF

I did not mind that, however, as long as I could lay my hand upon the men I wanted. “They were very cunning, though. They must have thought that there was some chance of their being followed, for they would never go out alone, and never after nightfall.

I watched them late and early, but never saw the ghost of a chance; but I was not discouraged, for something told me that the hour had almost come. My only fear was that this thing in my chest might burst a little too soon and leave my work undone.
