"That is correct," said the Assistant Commissioner, "but surely the honour of the late Sir Brian was above suspicion?" "Quite," agreed Max; "so also was that of 'M. Blank. But my point is this: Both 'M. Blank' and the late Sir Brian were clients of the opium syndicate!" Dunbar nodded again eagerly. "Hard work I had to hush it up," he said.
