"The Map"

Day 34

Dash it all. Thought I was being so cautious. Did someone say something? Was the old lady last night working for them? Did Biffy slip up and let something loose?

At any rate, they came to my room and took everything. The map-case and old map, of course, but also all of my equipment, my notes and sketches, every scrap of paper they could lay their hands on. Thank goodness I had this journal quite hidden or it would be gone too.

And they made it abundantly clear that it'll be prison for me if I make any further attempts to map the city.

I shall have to be even more cautious in the future.
