The Vanished Messenger begins: There were very few people upon Platform Number Twenty-one of Liverpool Street Station at a quarter to nine on the evening of April 2-possibly because the platform in question is one of the most remote and least used in the great terminus. The stationmaster, however, was there himself, with an inspector in attendance. A dark, thickset man, wearing a long traveling ulster and a Homburg hat, and carrying in his hand a brown leather dressing-case, across which was painted in black letters the name Mr. John P. Dunster, was standing a few yards away, smoking a long cigar, and to all appearance absorbed in studying the advertisements which decorated the grimy wall on the other side of the single track.
