For," he added, sitting up again after his further inspection, and bestowing a general smile all round, "revelations, ma'am, is what I chiefly hanker after, and I shall be glad delighted! to hear any specimens from anybody as chooses to make 'em!" Mrs. Engledew looked at Burchill as she resumed her seat. "I think Mr. Burchill is the most likely person to tell you what there is to tell," she said.
Engledew, with a little shrug of her shoulders. "Seems a great deal, doesn't it? But that is their price. They will not be moved from it. If Miss Wynne will agree to pay that sum, they will at once not only give their evidence as to the real murderer of Jacob Herapath, but they will point him out." "When?" demanded Selwood. "Tonight!" replied Mrs. Engledew.
"We believe him innocent," replied Peggie. "Quite so he is innocent of murder, anyway," said Mrs. Engledew. "Now I speak in absolute confidence, remember! there are two men who know who the real murderer is. They are in touch with me that is, one of them is, on behalf of both. I am really here as their emissary.
Engledew, "that I have given all this quite correctly?" "Quite," assented Mrs. Engledew. "It is perfectly correct." "Then," continued Burchill, "we pass on to Mr. Dimambro. Mr. Luigi Dimambro is a dealer in precious stones, who resides in Genoa, but travels widely about Europe in pursuance of his business. Mr.
"Are the police to be there when Cox-Raythwaite and I come tonight?" "That I don't know," replied Mrs. Engledew. "All I know is just what I am ordered to say.

"Don't let us hesitate about money, please." "But I don't know whether she can draw a cheque," continued Selwood. "At least, for such an amount as that. Perhaps Professor Cox-Raythwaite can tell us. Let me ask you a question or two, if you please, Mrs. Engledew," he went on. "You say you only know one of these men. Do you know his name?" "No I don't," confessed Mrs. Engledew.
Engledew's account told her to leave the diamonds with him, as he was going to see, that very day, an expert in that line, to whom he would show the stones with the idea of his giving him his opinion on what ought to be done with them. Mrs. Engledew handed him the diamonds in a small case, which he put in his pocket. I hope," added Burchill, turning to Mrs.
So then Dimambro and I resolved to act, through Mrs. Engledew " "For a slight consideration, I think," suggested Davidge dryly. "A matter of a little cheque, I believe, Mr. Burchill." "We've quite as much right to be paid for our detective services, amateur though they are, as you have for yours, Davidge," retorted Burchill.
Engledew tells me, had been valued by Spinks at about seven thousand pounds, were in very old, considerably worn settings. Mrs. Engledew wished to have them reset. Knowing that Jacob Herapath had great taste and knowledge in that direction, she saw him at his office on the noon of November 12th, showed him the diamonds, and asked his advice. Jacob Herapath I am giving you Mrs.
Burchill there, and I think we'd better let him come to what we may term the last chapter in his own way what?" "I'm at the last chapter," said Burchill. "And it's a short one. I saw Mrs. Engledew and made certain arrangements with her. And just after they were made yesterday in fact Dimambro and I got a new piece of evidence.
