He described what he’d found in Pirie’s night table and told Wallace that he would await the arrival of the constables and the warrant at Pirie’s house, then return to the school with a constable who would take over the job of waiting for Pirie.

What can I do for you?” “I’d like to speak with Lord Pembroke.” A cloud crossed Parkinson’s round face.
