twelve o'clock in the morning
This was the luminous item which first met Mr. Garnet 's eye : _ Mem . _ Dead body found in railway carriage under seat . Only one living occupant of carriage . He is suspected of being the murderer , but proves that he only entered carriage at twelve o'clock in the morning , while the body has been dead since the previous night . To this bright scheme were appended the words : This will want some working up . J. G. `` It will , '' thought Jerry Garnet grimly , `` but it will have to go on wanting as far as I 'm concerned . '' The next entry he found was a perfectly inscrutable lyric outburst .
