DANC – Misstep

Two days since I broke the cipher.

I should have traveled immediately to Ridling Thorpe Manor, or better yet, sent messages demanding Hilton Cubit come up to town with his wife. They would have been safe in London while I waited for word.

I waited for complete data, to know all the facts.

Doing so cost my client his life.

I have never loved, I told Watson, but I have been loved. Only a man who loved me could have found the strength to take hold of me and rescue us from my misguided experiment.

Watson's deductive inability has survived the years intact. He had merely to glance at the obituaries column in the Times to see why an account of the Tregennis case could now be published.

No sooner were we back than we were off again to the town, for there were plans afoot.
