My antagonist waved his hand with an airy gesture of protestation.
He had and he engineered that mock death and funeral so that he could disappear, and he paid us who helped him generously, as I've told you. The thing couldn't have been better done. When it was done, the nephew disappeared; the doctor disappeared; Chamberlayne disappeared. I had bad luck to tell you the truth, I was struck off the rolls for a technical offence.
