"It's bothered me more than anything I've tackled for years. I can't make head nor tail of it. Its very simplicity or seeming simplicity is what's tantalizing. It's in French. Of so much I feel sure, though I've little more than intuition to back it. As you know, this Vigenèrie, or Blocked-Out Square, cipher is particularly difficult.
Find the key-word to the Vigenèrie cipher of the French Diplomatic Service and we shall have the translation." "You haven't that word?" Harleston asked. "We've got quantities of keys to French ciphers, and numerous ones to the Blocked-Out Square, but they won't translate this letter." He took up a small book and opened it at a mark.
This yard, encumbered with the marbles for S. Lorenzo, must have been in the Via Mozza. Early in the spring he removed to Serravezza, and resumed the work of bringing down his blocked-out columns from the quarries. One of these pillars, six of which he says were finished, was of huge size, intended probably for the flanks to the main door at S. Lorenzo.
In the oddly intense radiance of the arc-light above, which cut sharply across the surface of forehead, cheek, and chin, and left heavy shadows like those in a roughly blocked-out carving, under brow, nose, and lower lip, the two men faced each other briefly, in silence. Then the Lieutenant-Governor voiced the other's name, hardly above a whisper. "Spencer Cavendish!"
Simply apply it to the alphabetic Blocked-Out Square and the message is evident; no books whatever are required. A slip of paper and a pencil are all that are necessary; any one can write the square; there is not any secret as to it. The secret is the key-word. Harleston took a sheet of paper and wrote the square: Harleston put down the paper and leaned back.
PLACE, Ninive, vol. iii. plates 24 and 31. "The painting," says M. OPPERT, "was applied to a kind of roughly blocked-out relief." De Longperier, Musée Napoléon III., plate iv. This palace was then inhabited for a part of the year by the Achemenid princes, of whom Ctesias was both the guest and physician. OPPERT, Expédition scientifique, vol. i. pp. 143, 144.
They were: A blocked-out statue of Saint Peter. An unfinished Christ with another figure. A statuette of Christ with the Cross, like the Risen Christ in Santa Maria Sopra Minerva; and Ten original drawings, one, a Piet
I'm confident that the key-word is here; I'm equally confident that the letter does not involve, either directly or indirectly, the United States. I understand that the letter is in the cipher of the Blocked-Out Square; in this book there are two pages and more of key-words to this Square, the last dozen or so of which are added in writing.
