| Charles | Harpole 7453. |
| Bob | Hello, Charles. This is Bob. You were quite right in your letter; very few people have any idea where Harpole is. I've asked half a dozen people so far without success. |
| Charles | I guessed you'd have difficulty. Where are you now? |
| Bob | I'm in a telephone box, outside a Post-office, at a crossroads about a mile from the end of the motor- way. |
| Charles | O.K. Listen carefully then. Carry on along the road towards Portsmouth until you go down a steep hill. Take the turning to the left at the bottom of the hill - there's a pub called The Green Man on the right just before the turning. |
| Bob | I've got that. Go on. |
| Charles | The road winds through a small village, over a bridge across a river and then under a railway. Just after the railway bridge the road forks; take the left hand fork... |
| Bob | Slow down a bit! I'm trying to write this down. I'll never remember all that. |
| Charles | I've nearly finished. After about a mile you'll drive through a wood and, as you come out of the wood, turn right and go up the hill to Harpole. Manor Road is the second turning on the left, and our house is at the end on the right. You'll see my car, the dark blue Rover, parked outside. |
| Bob | I suppose I'll find it, but if I'm not-there by m'd- night send out a search party! |
