Damar Greefe himself that you are indebted for the three attempts on your life; the first two at Upper Crossleys and the third here in your own home by the simple but deadly expedient of substituting for your own 'phone the duplicate one which previously had been employed so successfully at the Red House! He hoped to remove a dangerous obstacle from his path and a menace to this safety."
However the murder-machine erected in accordance with the earlier plan was still there " "Where?" I cried in bewilderment. "On the tower of Friar's Park! It was the appearance of Damar Greefe on the platform of the tower, armed with binoculars, which awakened me to the ghastly truth.
Damar Greefe to Sir Marcus is a very significant piece of evidence, of course; and when we consider that it reached Sir Marcus within a very short time of his return from Russia, the conclusion is obvious. "He inherited the title on the death of Sir Burnham, whilst he was on service in Archangel. Being in Russia, I conclude that he was not accessible from the Eurasian doctor's point of view.
Significantly from the point of view of the Damar Greefe Law my ward had grown up, not as English girls grow, but, like the Easterners, as the hot-house flower grows. The point has intense interest for the scientist. At the age of twelve she was a tall, slender woman, beautifully formed and with a natural elegance and taste which came from the Coverly stock, or possibly from her mother's side.
Damar Greefe was a man possessing tremendous force of character and a pride of intellect which clearly rendered him indifferent even of retribution. "This point being settled," he continued, "be good enough, Inspector Gatton, and" he turned his eyes in my direction "Mr. Addison, to give me your undivided attention."

The significance of the Eurasian's words escaped me entirely; but as Damar Greefe begun, slowly and with palpable effort, to speak again, I saw a queer expression stealing over the face of the watchful Gatton.
Every possible means had been taken to intercept him, and whilst Gatton, inspired by I know not what hopes, had hastened to the burning Bell House, I had set out in the police car in pursuit of Dr. Damar Greefe accompanied by Detective-Sergeant Blythe upon whom, apparently, the onus of the fiasco rested.
From our first arrival at Kuching my husband had taken every opportunity of visiting the Dyak tribes, and sometimes a chief would come to the town with a number of his people, to pay their rice tax, or purchase clothes, tobacco, gongs, gunpowder, whatever the bazaar possessed which they valued. They brought with them beeswax, damar, honey, or rattans to exchange for those things.
For it seemed to correspond roughly with the appearance in the neighborhood of this man whom he now met for the first time." Again Gatton paused, taking out his pipe and pouch, and: "Who was this person?" I asked. "A certain Dr. Damar Greefe!" "Good God!" I cried "where is all this leading us, Gatton?" "It is leading us slowly to the truth, Mr.
The hoarse voice ceased. Neither Gatton nor I moved or spoke. Then: "I have three minutes or less," whispered Damar Greefe. "Question me. I am at your service." "Where is your villa?" asked Gatton suddenly. "It is called The Laurels " "The Laurels!" I cried incredulously. "It is called so," whispered the Eurasian.
