Halfpenny's office he took Selwood aside and gave him certain hints and instructions, and enlarged upon the advantages of finding Dimambro if he was to be found. The Professor himself was enthusiastic about these recent developments, and he succeeded in communicating some of his enthusiasm to Selwood.
For I'm more and more convinced that Dimambro was the man who called at the House of Commons that night, and if it was Burchill who dined with him that same evening, why, then but come along, let's have a look at Jacob's desk in the house here, and after that we'll go down to the estate offices and see if we can find anything there."
More than this, I have an idea. May not this man Dimambro be the man who called on Jacob Herapath at the House of Commons that night the man whom Mountain saw, but did not recognize as one of his master's usual friends or acquaintances? Do you see that point?" Mr. Tertius and Selwood muttered expressions of acquiescence, but Mr. Halfpenny shook his head. "Can't see anything much in it," he said.
"There's an entry there the last," observed Mr. Halfpenny. "That. 'Dimambro: three thousand guineas. That's the same date." Mr. Playbourne suddenly showed some interest and animation. His eyes brightened; he sat up erect. "Ah!" he said. "Well, now, that is somewhat remarkable, that entry! though of course there's nothing out of the common in it.
"What! to look for Dimambro?" exclaimed Selwood. "Why not? Remember that Burchill was Jacob Herapath's secretary before you were," answered the Professor. "He was with Jacob some time, wasn't he? Well, he knew a good deal about Jacob's doings. Jacob may have had dealings with this Dimambro person in Burchill's days. You don't remember that Jacob had any such dealings in your time?"
"I'm more than ever convinced that Jacob Herapath was robbed as well as murdered, and that robbery and murder or, rather, murder and robbery, for the murder would go first took place just before Barthorpe entered the offices to keep that appointment. Selwood! we must find this Dimambro man!" "Who's most likely left the country," remarked Selwood.
When both he and Dimambro had gone, I walked out into Parliament Square, and after thinking things over, I hailed a passing taxi-cab, and told the driver to go to Kensington High Street, and to pull up by the Metropolitan Station." Burchill here paused to give Davidge a peculiarly knowing look. "Now I want you all and particularly Mr.
Dimambro that he was collecting pearls of a certain sort and size specimens of which he showed him with a view to presenting his niece, Miss Wynne, with a necklace which was to be formed of them. He gave Dimambro a commission to collect such pearls for him. On November 11th last Dimambro arrived in London from the Continent, and wrote to Mr.
But the register " He sped down the room, through a side door, vanished; to return in a moment with a book which he carried to Selwood's side. "Dimambro?" he said. "Recently, then? We shall see." "About the beginning or middle of November," answered Selwood. The manager found the pages: suddenly he pointed to an entry. "See, then!" he exclaimed dramatically. "You are right, sir.
"Very good suggestion," said Professor Cox-Raythwaite. "He may have bought something extremely valuable from this Dimambro that day, or that night, and he may have had it on him when he was murdered. Clearly, we must see this Luigi Dimambro!" "If he's the man who called at the House, you forget that he's been advertised for no end," said Selwood. "No, I don't," responded the Professor.
