"Now, obviously this woman, whoever she was, was saved."

"How do you make that out?"

"If she wasn't, how would they have known Jane Finn had got the
papers?"

"Correct. Proceed, O Sherlock!"

"Now there's just a chance, I admit it's only a chance, that this
woman may have been 'Rita.' "

"And if so?"

"If so, we've got to hunt through the survivors of the Lusitania
till we find her."

"Then the first thing is to get a list of the survivors."

"I've got it. I wrote a long list of things I wanted to know,
and sent it to Mr. Carter. I got his reply this morning, and
among other things it encloses the official statement of those
saved from the Lusitania. How's that for clever little
Tuppence?"

"Full marks for industry, zero for modesty. But the great point
is, is there a 'Rita' on the list?"

"That's just what I don't know," confessed Tuppence.
