Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Section or the Fatal Letter: From the Diary of Inspector Byrnes
When we first see him, he has just passed the Brunswick Hotel, and, keeping on the east side of the avenue, is walking northwards. His gait is swift and vigorous, betokening a powerful and healthy physical organization, and a concentrated and capable mind. He is evidently bound on some affair of importance; indeed, when we contem plate the expression of his strong, ruddy, well molded face, we are inclined to hazard the opin ion that only ahairs Of importance ever engage his attention. He is a man whose life is full, earnest and active. He has no time to throw away and yet his time is so ordered that he is never unduly hurried or perplexed. Every year he doesa year's work, and is fresh enough at the end of it to start on a new twelvemonth with undiminished energy.
