A heavy-browed, sharp-eyed Englishman appeared in the doorway, stood a moment, glanced about him eagerly, and, with a gesture of impatience, turned away and disappeared in the throngs of the corridor without. "There's something doing to bring 'Lord Baskingford' here," muttered Holmes. "Lord Baskingford?" said I. "Who's he?" "He's the most expert diamond lifter in London," answered Holmes.
We glanced over in the direction indicated, and again our eyes fell upon the muscular form of "Lord Baskingford." "Oh!" said Holmes. "Well he is a pretty fair specimen, isn't he! Little too large for my special purpose, though, Sommers," he added, "so you needn't wrap him up and send him home." "All right, Mr. Holmes," grinned the clerk.
"His appearance on Piccadilly was a signal always to Scotland Yard to wake up, and to the jewellers of Bond Street to lock up. My old daddy used to say that Baskingford could scent a Kohinoor quicker than a hound a fox. I wonder what his game is." "Is he a real lord?" I asked. "Real?" laughed Holmes.
