Excerpt from The Crooked House
"Monsieur Tranter! A moment!"
The Right-Honorable John Tranter swung round, latch-key in hand. Behind him, an enormous figure emerged, with surprisingly agile and noiseless steps, from the shadow of the adjoining house - a figure almost grotesque and monstrous in the dim light of the street lamp. The very hugeness of the apparition was so disconcerting that John Tranter drew back with a startled exclamation.
"Good Lord! Monsieur Dupont? You in London?"
Monsieur Dupont described circles with his country"s largest silk hat.
