As he expected, first-rate encryption; as he expected, Jarvis cracked it without much trouble; as he expected, it contained much that was of use to him.

Now, about that Beardsley fellow.

Digging up his address is the work of minutes. The real dilemma is deciding how to make the approach. Eventually, he settles on the relatively benign strategy of showing up on the man's doorstep just as he is likely to be coming home from work.

He knows the house is empty, but he rings the bell anyway. Then he tucks his hands in his pockets and settles in to wait, observing his surroundings carefully and standing where he is unlikely to be observed in return.
