On the glass door of the office were the words: "Robbins & Harley, Brokers". It was past five, and the clerks had already gone. The two partners - Robbins and Hartley - were going to leave the office too.[1] Robbins was fifty; Hartley - twenty-nine, - serious, good-looking and nervous.
A man came in and went up to Hartley.
"I have found out where she lives," he said in a halfwhisper. Hartley made a sign of silence to him.[2] When Robbins had put on his coat and hat and left the office, the detective said:
"Here is the address", and gave Hartley a piece of paper. There were only a few words on it.
Hartley took the paper and read: "Vivienne Arlington, No. 341, East Tenth Street."
