midnight
` I am Mr Champnell . What 's your information ? ' ` With reference to the Arab about whom you have been making inquiries . A foreigner , dressed like an Arab , with a great bundle on his head , took two single thirds for Hull by the midnight express . ' ` Was he alone ? ' ` It is believed that he was accompanied by a young man of very disreputable appearance . They were not together at the booking-office , but they had been seen together previously .
