Listen then: all these clews seemed to point to Friar's Park, but the receipt of your message mentioning one Damar Greefe as being a suspicious party, and asking me to look up his record, quite tipped the scales. I saw, frankly, that you had made a false move, but nevertheless it served my purpose, and I determined to look into the Crossleys end of the inquiry personally, without giving Dr.
"However, no doubt seems to have arisen at the time, as you can well understand; nevertheless, I, personally, count the death of Roger Coverly as the first of the outrages to be laid to the credit of Dr. Damar Greefe!" "The object of the whole thing is still completely dark to me," I declared.
Judging from its narrowness the deceased, who had been ill for a long time, must have been very thin when she passed away, but the coffin, to which the cover had been fastened with damar, was of excellent proportions and symmetrical in shape.
He thought that if Lady Coverly's real condition became known she would be removed to a madhouse! He also thought that a nurse was in attendance." "A nurse!" "Yes. He assured me that he had heard and seen her! Mrs. Hawkins also was certain on the point. Neither of them were ever allowed in the house, by the way. But Damar Greefe paid them well and they were satisfied.
Damar Greefe; but I certainly believed that I had previously heard his voice, although I quite failed to recall where and under what circumstances. "Sir Burnham has been dead for several years, I believe?" I asked tentatively. "For several years, yes." Without returning to the peremptory tone which had distinguished his earlier manner, Dr.

"I picked up one or two hints from the county police as to the geography as well as the 'notables' of the neighborhood; and the plan which you put into execution to-night, I had adopted last night!" "What! You visited Friar's Park?" "I did. But I did not enter through the French window.
Damar Greefe commenced to unfold a story of nameless horrors and save that his harsh voice grew ever weaker and weaker, he displayed not the slightest trace of emotion throughout his appalling revelations.
In a sudden tropical torrent the rain descended, and I stepped forward into the room. Its occupant rose to his great height to greet me. "I am Dr. Damar Greefe," he said, and bowed formally. I made myself known to him in turn, and with a sort of stately courtesy he set a high-backed chair for me and himself resumed his former seat.
A few Chinamen and Bugis who live here advance rice and dried fish to the Malays to provision expeditions into the utan which last two to three months, receiving in return rubber and damar.
But it was not until some time after dusk that the Eurasian came out. He went to Friar's Park and I followed him!" "What! You were there to-night!" "I was! I dogged Dr. Damar Greefe, determined to learn the nature of the business which brought him to Friar's Park at such an hour. I may add that it was only by the merest accident or good luck that I fathomed it after all.
