Octagon, seeing that the elder woman came by stealth to the Soho house. Mrs. Octagon was connected with the late Emilia Saul by a crime, if what Caranby surmised was correct, and her daughter was forbidden to marry Mallow, who was the nephew of the man who had been the lover both of Miss Loach and Emilia Saul. Hale and Clancy were playing some game with Basil Saxon, who was the son of Mrs.
"Oh, as to that, she is my rival no longer," said Maraquito, with a gesture of disdain, "your nephew is not worthy of me. I surrender him from this moment." "That is very wise of you. I expect you will go abroad and marry a millionaire." "I might. But I have plenty of money of my own." "The way in which you made it is not creditable," said Caranby. "Bah!" she sneered.
So interested had Caranby and Jennings been in their conversation that they had not heard the bell. Mallow looked in good health, but his face wore a worried expression. Without preamble, and after greeting his uncle, he walked up to his friend. "Jennings," he said calmly, "I have seen Juliet, and she agrees with me that this case should not be gone on with." "Ah! does she, and on what grounds?"
Others were mixed up in the matter also, but Mrs. Saul was the head of the gang. Then Emilia grew tired of the life I expect it told on her nerves. She went on the concert platform and met Caranby. Then she died, as you know. Afterwards the mother and brother were caught. They bolted. The mother, I believe, died it was believed she was poisoned for having betrayed secrets.
Indeed, he would have stolen away unperceived, but that he wished to question Hale as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Herne. "It is a long time since I have seen you," said Caranby, removing his eyes from the newcomers, and addressing the detective; "you were not an er an official when we last met." "It is three years ago," said Jennings; "no.
Lord Caranby will live for some time yet." Mallow nodded and left the bedroom, while Yeo returned to the bed upon which lay the unconscious form of the old man. Cuthbert took a walk to the end of the street where the wreckage of the motor car had now been removed, and asked the policeman what had become of the victims.
Before leaving the death-chamber, Mallow now Lord Caranby sealed the confession in the presence of Yeo, and went with him into the sitting-room. "What will you do with that?" asked the doctor, indicating the envelope with a nod. "I shall place it in the hand of my lawyers to be put with family papers," replied Cuthbert.
"No more can Caranby," said Mallow, smiling; "he loved Miss Loach, but Emilia exercised a kind of hypnotic influence over him. However, she is dead, and I can see no connection between her and this crime." "Well," said Jennings soberly, "it appears that some other person besides the mother gave a clue to the breaking up of the gang and the whereabouts of the factory.
"Lord Caranby paid a visit to Maraquito's salon and recognized that she was a Saul from her likeness to Emilia, with whom " "With whom he was in love," finished Mrs. Herne, crossing her hands; "that painful story is well known to me. Emilia was my sister." "Lord Caranby never told me she had one," said Jennings. "Lord Caranby does not know the history of our family."
I only wanted the mystery cleared up so that Juliet might marry me, but now that she wishes to do so, without searching further, I am not going to do anything else." "Nor I," said Jennings sadly, "nothing is to be learned. The case will remain a mystery to the end of time." Caranby rose and took Cuthbert's arm. "You young men are faint-hearted," he said, with a shrug.
