+427 Park Lane did little to clear up the problem in which I was interested.
+ The house was separated from the street by a low wall and railing, the
+ whole not more than five feet high.
+ It was perfectly easy, therefore, for anyone to get into the garden, but
+ the window was entirely inaccessible, since there was no water pipe or
+ anything which could help the most active man to climb it.
+ More puzzled than ever, I retraced my steps to Kensington.
+ I had not been in my study five minutes when the maid entered to say that
+ a person desired to see me.
+ To my astonishment it was none other than my strange old book collector,
+ his sharp, wizened face peering out from a frame of white hair, and his
+ precious volumes, a dozen of them at least, wedged under his right arm.
