Chelius records an instance of penetration of the chest by a carriage shaft, with subsequent recovery.
'That's what I'm here for. What's the move? 'The Wild Birds mustn't ever go home, and the man they call Ivery or Bommaerts or Chelius has to decease. It's a cold-blooded proposition, but it's him or the world that's got to break. But before he quits this earth we're bound to get wise about some of his plans, and that means that we can't just shoot a pistol at his face.
But his eyes fascinated me, for they were the eyes of the dreamer and fanatic, who would not desist from his quest while life lasted. I thought that Ivery had chosen well in his colleague. 'My task is not done yet, I said. 'I came here to see Chelius. 'He will be back tomorrow evening. 'Too late. I must see him at once. He has gone to Italy, and I must overtake him.
The writing was a set of key-words we did not know, but two names stood out which I knew too well. They were 'Bommaerts' and 'Chelius'. 'My God! I cried, 'that's uncanny. It only shows that if you chew long enough 'Dick, said Mary, 'you mustn't say that again. At the best it's an ugly metaphor, and you're making it a platitude. 'Who is Ivery anyhow? I asked.
'Well, he'd be likely to know it if anyone did. 'But don't you see it's the cipher which Chelius uses the man in Switzerland? Oh, I can't explain now, for it's very long, but I think I think I have found out what we have all been wanting. Chelius ... 'Whisht! I said. 'What's that? There was a queer sound from the out-of-doors as if a sudden wind had risen in the still night.
Apparently no extensive cerebral lesion had been caused, and the man suffered no subsequent cerebral symptoms except, three years afterward, impairment of memory. There is an account given by Chelius of an extraordinary wound caused by a ramrod. The rod was accidentally discharged while being employed in loading, and struck a person a few paces away.
Von Chelius, quoting the younger Naegele, gives a remarkable instance of a young peasant of thirty-five, the mother of four children, pregnant with the fifth child, who was struck on the belly violently by a blow from a wagon pole. She was thrown down, and felt a tearing pain which caused her to faint.
I heard two names Chelius and what sounded like a Dutch word, Bommaerts. Then to my joy I caught Effenbein, and when uttered it seemed to be followed by a laugh. I heard too a phrase several times repeated, which seemed to me to be pure gibberish Die Stubenvogel verstehn. It was spoken by the man from the sea. And then the word Wildvogel. The pair seemed demented about birds.
It was true, and it may give us Chelius. I must leave Mr Blenkiron to tell you how. But the trouble is this. We know something of the doings of someone who may be Chelius, but we can't link them with Ivery. We know that Ivery is Bommaerts, and our hope is to link Bommaerts with Chelius. That's why I came here. I was trying to burgle this escritoire in an amateur way.
These letters made me think that things were nearing a climax, but still no instructions came. I had nothing to report in my own messages, I had discovered nothing in the Pink Chalet but idle servants, I was not even sure if the Pink Chalet were not a harmless villa, and I hadn't come within a thousand miles of finding Chelius.
