Nick was beginning to feel that a mistake had been made. This man's easy manner and perfect confidence were hard to square with the idea of his guilt. "By the way," said the suspect, as they descended the stairs, "I forgot to give you my card." He handed it to Nick as he spoke, and the detective read this: MR. JOHN JONES.

He was not a little astonished to find, on returning to the manor, that Count Vavel had left a card for him with the porter. Such promptness perplexed the colonel.
