This Frankl undertook; and O'Hara promised to lend Harris, and some friends of Harris. Now, during these weeks Hogarth was living in some fear, haunted by insecurity and a vision of Colmoor; and, remembering the theft at Thring, with a consciousness of Frankl somewhere in him, he went not only with diamonds on his person, but a revolver as well, and a punal of Toledo.
They stepped out; and Frankl, his eyelids red, said: "I have only this day crawled from bed with the blow you struck my temple, or I should have had you before this " "Sh-h-h. Your own fault, sir. You played false first " "Played false with my own diamonds?
These were led away by police blue-jackets, and Frankl groaned through the night in a box as cold as the cells of Colmoor. The next morning Quilter-Beckett, making a report in Hogarth's salon, mentioned the incident, saying: "Here are the names, with the sentences; I shall send the sailors home..." and Hogarth's eyes, resting on the document, chanced to catch that name of Frankl.
Now the Arab leapt up, and, in a movement of great dignity, with an out-rush of both arms, rent his caftan from the top to its muslin girdle. "I will shoot myself", he said quietly. Frankl took snuff. The same night he took his secretary's typewriter, and spelled out the following note: "SIR,
Two months had she been here at Westring and he had not known it! There she stood peering, of a divine beauty in his eyes, like half- mythical queens of Egypt and Babylon, blinking in a rather barbarous superfluity of jewels: and, blinded and headlong, he was in flight. As for Frankl, he locked that door upon himself, and remained there, forgetting the sanctification of the Sabbath.
"And of the Jewry!" screamed his lordship, amid laughter from the merry wigs. As Frankl stepped down, a name was called at which Hogarth went cold as a ghost: "Rebekah Frankl".
"Tell me", said Frankl, "have you mentioned to anyone that you had given the guns to me?" "I told Richard's solicitor this morning " "That was horribly imprudent, without consulting me!" "I think I have been silent long enough, don't you? I didn't mention your name, but " "Oh, you didn't mention my name! That's all right, then! Look here, do you know ?" "Well?"
"He is a Cockney assassin". Frankl took snuff, with busy pats at alternate nostrils. "What will you tell him is in the bag?" "Anything rings something prized by you for sentimental reasons. We offer him a thousand two thousand pounds. And he will not fail. He strikes like lightning". "And we share how?" "Come let us not talk of that again, sir. What could be more generous than my offer?
At "7 P.M." she had half promised Loveday to meet him. And what had her meetings with Baruch Frankl, innocent as they were, brought upon her and hers! Yet Frankl must be kindly intentioned, she reasoned since he had sent them the L50; and she thought of that agony of humiliation when she had asked Loveday for L2, and he had refused.
"Not assailable" found an echo in the minds of solicitor and counsel for Hogarth, who with growing anxiety were awaiting the coming of Margaret with her story of the weapons. Margaret was where her name was changed to Rachel. Now was the regime of examining counsel for the prosecution. The usher called: "Baruch Frankl!"
