As they crossed the dining-room Jules stopped Mr Dimmock and handed him a letter. 'Just come, sir, by messenger, said Jules. Nella dropped behind for a second with her father. 'Leave me alone with this boy a little there's a dear parent, she whispered in his ear. 'I am a mere cypher, an obedient nobody, Racksole replied, pinching her arm surreptitiously. 'Treat me as such. Use me as you like.
'I'd have broken it to you more gently had I known. Your pardon, Prince. There was a pause. 'Dimmock dead! Prince Aribert whispered under his breath, and he kneeled down by the side of the stretcher. 'What does this mean? The poor fellow was just walking across the quadrangle towards the portico when he fell down. A commissionaire who saw him says he was walking very quickly.
Mr Reginald Dimmock, still in evening dress, and smoking a cigarette, rose hurriedly from a table. 'Hello, my dear Mr Racksole, this is an unexpected ah pleasure. 'Where is my daughter? This is her room. 'Did I catch what you said, Mr Racksole? 'I venture to remark that this is Miss Racksole's room. 'My good sir, answered Dimmock, 'you must be mad to dream of such a thing.
'By a series of accidents I am, he said. 'My equerry was to have met me at Charing Cross, but he failed to do so I cannot imagine why. 'Mr Dimmock? questioned Racksole. 'Yes, Dimmock. I do not remember that he ever missed an appointment before. You know him? He has been here?
'That would have depended on several things on your police, for instance. But probably in the end we should have restored this mortal clay' again he jerked his elbow 'to the man's sorrowing relatives. 'Do you know who the relatives are? 'Certainly. Don't you? If you don't I need only hint that Dimmock had a Prince for his father.
If he had not been poisoned why was his body stolen? It must have been stolen to prevent inquiry, to hide traces. Tell me about that. 'I take my dying oath, said Miss Spencer, standing up a little way from the table, 'I take my dying oath I didn't know Mr Dimmock was dead till I saw it in the newspaper. 'You swear you had no suspicion of it? 'I swear I hadn't.
'Who knows? she said. 'By the way, is not Prince Eugen coming here to-day? Mr Dimmock told us so. 'See! answered the Prince, standing up and bending over her. 'I am going to confide in you. I don't know why, but I am. 'Don't betray State secrets, she warned him, smiling into his face. But just then the door of the room was unceremoniously opened. 'Go right in, said a voice sharply.
The moment the glare was gone the hull of the destroyer showed up dark against the mist. 'Now's your chance, Dimmock! cried Ken, and almost instantly the little gun spoke, and the crash was followed by a flash which lit the destroyer's deck. 'Oh, good shot, Dimmock! exclaimed the captain. 'That shell exploded right under her bridge.
He thought that perhaps he had helped himself rather plenteously to mustard. MR REGINALD DIMMOCK proved himself, despite his extreme youth, to be a man of the world and of experiences, and a practised talker. Conversation between him and Nella Racksole seemed never to flag.
Dimmock was a left-handed relation of the Posen family. Twig? Scarcely anyone knows that. He was made secretary and companion to Prince Aribert, just to keep him in the domestic circle. His mother was an Irishwoman, whose misfortune was that she was too beautiful. The only thing that passes me is this: Why should anyone want to make Prince Eugen disappear?
