`` I have had a twinge of the gout this morning , and am likely , I fear , to be laid up for some weeks . `` Yours truly , `` P.S. -- Sharp has just been here . He followed the man who calls himself ` Captain Smith ' to a house in Lambeth , where he lodges , and from which he did not stir till midnight , when Sharp ceased his watch . On renewing it this morning , he found that the captain had gone off , to what place Sharp has not yet discovered . `` Burn this immediately .
