"I take your meaning. Now then, come in, and we'll put it before my manager, Mr. Appleyard. I've great faith in his judgment let's see what he's got to say." The two Gaffneys were waiting just within the packingroom of the warehouse. Allerdyke bade them wait a little longer, and took the detective straight into Appleyard's office.
You never know what may have happened there's often something that doesn't show at first." "There was nothing missing in his room, I hope?" asked the manager with professional anxiety. "Nothing that I know of," answered Allerdyke. "My man and I have searched him, and taken possession of everything all that he had on him is in that bag, and I'm going to examine it now.
"You think it possible that the Nastirsevitch affair is the work of one lot, and the Lennard affair the work of another?" asked Allerdyke, thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll ask you a question, Mr. Delkin. How do you account for the fact that my cousin James, the Frenchwoman, Lisette Beaurepaire, and his valet, Ebers, or Federman, or Herman, were all found dead under similar circumstances?
It was only two or three hours since he had listened to another story the report of the two Gaffneys, and Allerdyke, all unaware of that business, had come upon him while he was still thinking it over. And while Appleyard gave full attention to all that his employer said, he was also thinking of what he himself could tell. By the time that Allerdyke had finished he, too, had decided to speak.
And, wound up Appleyard, who had a keen knowledge of human nature and saw deep into Chettle's mind, Mr. Allerdyke would doubtless see that Chettle lost nothing by holding his tongue about anything that wasn't exactly ripe for discussion. At present, he repeated, let Chettle do his duty not exceed it. "That's it," agreed Allerdyke. "You've hit it, Ambler.
And Allerdyke listened as quietly and attentively as Appleyard had listened to him, nodding his head at all the important points, and in the end he slapped his manager's shoulder with an approving hand. "Good good!" he said. "Good, Ambler! That was a bit of right work, and hang me if I don't believe we shall find something out. But what's to be done?
Look, for example, at those two well-dressed men who are coming across the sward there, swinging their sticks. They " Allerdyke suddenly bent his head towards the table. "Careful!" he said. "Gad! I know one of 'em, anyhow. Van Koon, as I live!" The chief allowed himself to take a quick searching glance at the two men he had indicated.
The news about the Nastirsevitch jewels leaked out somewhere, Mr. Allerdyke. That's certain. Either here in London, or over there in Russia, it leaked out. Now until this Princess comes you've no means of knowing if the leakage was over yonder. But there's one thing you do know now at this very minute.
Allerdyke, the big question a most important question! is, how did it come into this man Lydenberg's possession?" said the detective anxiously. "If we can find that out " "I've been thinking," interrupted Allerdyke. "There's this about it, you know: James and this Lydenberg came over together from Christiania to Hull in the Perisco. They talked to one another that's certain.
James Allerdyke had been doing business for a couple of years, and that they'd last met in London about the end of March, just before your cousin set off on his journey to Russia. Is that correct?" "Quite correct to the letter," answered Allerdyke. "Very well," said Chettle. "Now, according to you, that 'ud be not so very long after you took that snapshot of your cousin?
