Engledew betrayed slight signs of confusion, and Davidge gave the questioner a look. "I think if I were you, I shouldn't go into that matter just now, Professor," he said apologetically. "Ladies, you know, have their reasons for these little what shall we call 'em? peculiarities. No, I wouldn't press that point, sir. We're having a nice, straight story quite like a printed one! from Mr.
"One only, who represents both," answered Mrs. Engledew. "Why not point him out to the police, and let them deal with them?" suggested Selwood. "They would get his evidence out of him without any question of price!" "I have given my word," said Mrs. Engledew. "I the fact is, I am mixed up in this, quite innocently, of course.
Engledew, no objection I'm sure to having a press gentleman at them. Mr. Triffitt, ma'am, of the Argus newspaper. Known to these gentlemen all of 'em unless it's the gentleman at the far end, there. Known, at any rate, to Mr. Selwood and the Professor," continued Davidge, nodding with much familiarity to the person he named. "And likewise to Mr. Burchill there. How do you do, sir, this evening?
"Where is this meeting to take place?" demanded Selwood. "It can take place at my flat: in fact, it must, because, as I say, I am unfortunately mixed up," said Mrs. Engledew. "If you agree to the terms, you are to telephone to me I have written my number on the card at two o'clock this afternoon. Then I shall telephone the time of meeting tonight, and you must bring the money with you."

"I shall have to begin at the beginning," he said. "You'll all please to follow me closely. Now, to commence Mrs. Engledew permits me to speak for her as well as for Mr. Dimambro.
And the result of our deliberations was that we got an interview at least I did with Mrs. Engledew here, with respect to the diamonds which she had entrusted to Jacob Herapath. And " "I should like to ask you a question, Mrs. Engledew," said Cox-Raythwaite, interrupting Burchill without ceremony. "Why did you not inform the police about your diamonds as soon as you heard of the murder?" Mrs.
"You know very well why you're here you're here to hear the real truth about the Herapath murder! Mrs. Engledew told you that this afternoon, when she called on you at Scotland Yard. Now the only two people who know the real truth are myself and my friend there Mr. Dimambro."
I'm not quite such a fool as I may look, my lad, and if I made one mistake when I let you slip I didn't make another when I got on the track of the real man. And now, ma'am," he concluded, with an old-fashioned bow to Mrs. Engledew, "there's no more to be said by me, at all events, and I've the honour to wish you a good night. Mr. Triffitt we'll depart."
