A CHRISTMAS MYSTERY
Three men who had gained great fame and honour throughout the world met unexpectedly in front of the bookstall at Paddington Station. Like most of the great ones of the earth they were personally acquainted, and they exchanged surprised greetings.
Sir Angus McCurdie, the eminent physicist, scowled at the two others beneath his heavy
black eyebrows.
“I’m going to a God-forsaken place in Cornwall called Trehenna,” said he.
“That’s odd; so am I,” croaked Professor Biggleswade. He was a little, untidy man with
round spectacles, a fringe of greyish beard and a weak, rasping voice, and he knew more of Assyriology than any man, living or dead. A flippant pupil once remarked that the Professor’s face was furnished with a Babylonic cuneiform in lieu of features.
“People called Deverill, at Foulis Castle?” asked Sir Angus.
“Yes,” replied Professor Biggleswade.
“How curious! I am going to the Deverills, too,” said the third man.
