A small, dark man entered a public telephone box at High Street Kensington Station and made a phone call.

‘Valhalla Gramophone Company.’

‘Sanders here. Reporting on Anna Scheele. Arrived this morning from New York. Went to flower shop, asked for flowers to be delivered at a private hospital in Portland Place. Ordered coat and skirt at Bolford and Avory’s. Neither of these firms known to have any suspicious contacts. Scheele’s room at Savoy Hotel was searched. Nothing suspicious found. Scheele took small suitcase and went to sister at 17 Elmsleigh Gardens. Sister is entering hospital in Portland Place this evening for operation. Visit of Anna Scheele seems justified. No sign she knew she was being followed. Understand she is spending tonight at hospital. Has kept her room at the Savoy. Return ticket to New York booked for twenty-third.’
