When I put that with the voice and figure being the same, and only those things altered which might be changed by a razor or a wig, I could not doubt that it was the same man.

Back I went to my hotel,
put my head in a basin of cold water, and tried to think it out.
Why had he sent me from London to Birmingham?
Why had he got there before me?
And why had he written a letter from himself to himself?
It was altogether too much for me, and I could make no sense of it.

I asked.
