Today's episode...

I can't believe that jolly old chap mr. Toby is a spiv.

What's a spiv?

In police talk,

it's slang for a low character.

But he gave us a quarter.

Surely a spiv wouldn't give us 2 bits.

I h,

but mr. Toby's gone,

and so's his car, and so's our package.

This isn't getting it back.

You must have some big ideas.



You're an american.

But you're the one with the cop in the family.

Start thinking.



Look!

"Camden town."

Come on!

Toby!

where's my parcel?



We gave it to your secretary.



My secretary!



That scoundrel!

I fired him yesterday.

You were told to deliver that package to me.

You weren't here, sir.



You were told to wait.

Take it easy, mister.

Isn't your secretary mr. Toby honest?

Honest? Pah!



That's why I sacked him.

For being honest?

Because he's a low character.

He'll probably sell my writing portfolio

to the first leather-good shop.

We're very sorry.

He seemed such a nice man.

Fine time to be sorry.

You'll get over it..

Get out of here before i...

Did you notice that bulge under his coat?



No.

There couldn't be another one like it in london.

See if he's left our parcel.

Maybe it's in this compartment.

It will be too wide.

How about under the backseat?

No.



Wait a bit.



I have another possible clue.

So far, you've been batting zero.

The business card we found by the curb.

But you said that was no good.



Ah, but I remember the leather-goods shop.

Say, the portfolio was leather.

He didht try to sell it.Mr.

Oh, dear. I wish I hadn't thrown it way.
