He was a scholar already; an accomplished one, who went wrong through drink and became a crook, specializing in rare books and prints. His name is Enderby; you'll find it in the Harvard catalogue. He's supposed to be dead. My assistant traced him through his Spanish-Latin teacher, a priest."

Early on the morning of the third day, I stopped at a stage station, where I met the assistant wagon boss who was with the bull train during my first trip across the plains. He was a genuine Missouri Bushwacker and a desperate fellow. Like all others of his class he wore his hair long, making it a much coveted prize for the Indians.

He threw his head upon the table and burst into tears. Mrs. Tryphonia Basil kept a boarding-house of the usual kind on Four-and-a-Half Street.

The figures straightened up at our entrance, and I knew them for the doctor and his assistant. "A friend of the lady, sor," whispered Corson. The doctor looked at me in some surprise, but merely bowed.

But while he had personally undertaken the matter of his excellency he had left the work of studying the activities of Nicol Brinn to an assistant.
