"The night mail for the Continent stood ready to glide out of the London terminus, the leave-taking friends assembled in small groups upon the platform before the carriage doors were reiterating last messages and once more exchanging promises to 'write, ' when a hard-featured, thick-set gentleman who had been peering out of a second-class window drew back with a slight exclamation of annoyance or disappointment, and sank into a corner seat. Hardly a moment had passed, when the rattle of the guard's key was again heard in the lock, and the door fell open to admit a fifth passenger. 'Just in time, sir! ' muttered the guard, banging the door after the new arrival and relocking it. He immediately signalled with his lamp, a whistle rang out sharply, and the night mail for the Continent started from London."

George Dilnot (1883-1951) was a British journalist and novelist, author of crime fiction. For a time he was a professional policeman, then a journalist, before starting to write in the mid-1910s, when he wrote two detective novels with Frank Froest, a former work colleague and Scotland Yard detective. He went on to publish nearly twenty titles on his own, in which several recurring characters appeared: Inspector Strickland, Val Emery, Horace Augustus Elver, Jim Strang. Like many popular British writers, he wrote a few adventures in the Sexton Blake series. His last novel, Counter Spy (1942), is an anti-Nazi spy novel.
