b) He thought up the details of the ruse on the spot
c) The very day WHW goes to meet Qualtrough a visitor just happens to turn up and is admitted by Julia (according to Wallace, this would mean she knew the visitor or it was connected to WHW's business)
d) The visitor is intent on robbery or murder
e) This visitor apparently knows the location of the cashbox (according to WHW, this reduces the visitor to 1 of 15 people, or to someone who was told about its location)
I would say the probability of (a)-(e) is extremely low.
