"Well, you don’t suppose Noakes would tip Haylock; that’s for you to do. What I meant was that Haylock has given Noakes a tip how to get into the house without breaking the law, and you may bet your boots we shall have Smail up again to-night.  You know that narrow lane leading up to Trenchard’s coal-shed?  It’s hardly ever used.  Any one might come up there at night, and get in by the window of the shed.  There’s a door between the shed and the scullery, never locked, and Smail can easily get into the house that way."
