“Right. By the way, Chris”—Geoff paused for a minute—“was there a calendar anywhere around?”
“A calendar? What? There was one behind the counter.”

Now McKee was very confused—his normal reaction when he brought a case to Geoffrey Lord—and he expressed this confusion with assorted expletives, which amused Geoff greatly. Then McKee’s face cleared, and he murmured:
“Of course, Geoff. How did I ever miss…? And a jeweller, too! Tallder was born in December, and Mrs. Balchek was born in March, and Mayne was born in July.”
“Ah!”
“Well, then, Geoff, thanks, but I’ve got the murderer, then. All we need is proof.”
Geoff rose and puffed pensively on the pipe. “Chris, there’s just one more point…”
Who is the murderer?
How did Geoffrey Lord know?
What is the meaning of the dying clue?
