With the dossier of the case before him, he read and re-read all that had been gathered by his men and himself since that night when he had been called from his sleep to find Harry Goldenburg dead. Was there some point he had overlooked? He knew how fatal it was in the work of criminal investigation to take anything for granted.
She admitted that she had helped him to blackmail me, but apparently she herself had handled little enough of the loot. She was vicious enough about it. I gave her a cheque and induced her to come to London. I had it in mind to stop this blackmail before I was married. "As I expected, Goldenburg was not long in scenting profit. He descended on me ravenously.
I think it likely that he stood by the door, took in the situation quietly, and stole away with the impression that she had killed Goldenburg. If she was bending over the dead man, that was what he might naturally think. "It is likely that he would make up his mind in an instant. To him the fact that she had raised no outcry would be significant of her guilt.
"I said little during the preliminary talk. Both men were firm. Goldenburg declared that he would not give up the letters entirely. Grell was equally determined not to pay unless they were given to him. "When I at length broke into the conversation I asked Grell for the letters I had written to him. I wanted to get him out of the room.
We know that Grell is alive, that he is in touch with Ivan Abramovitch and Lola Rachael or the Princess Petrovska, as she calls herself. There is at least one other man in it probably more. It's fairly certain that Grell knows who killed Harry Goldenburg even if he didn't do it himself. Goldenburg was apparently dressed in Grell's clothes before he was killed.
I ought to have beaten you, but as I failed, it may interest you to know the bare facts. "Goldenburg was, as you guessed, my husband, though it was long since we had lived together. Before I met him, however, I had become acquainted with Mr. Grell I think it was in Vienna. I was on the stage there, and had a circle of admirers, of whom he became one.
And it's true that it's not Goldenburg." "Oh, all right, let it go. You'd better arrange the laundry inquiry first thing in the morning. Now let me alone. I want to think." Sir Hilary Thornton had come to Heldon Foyle's stocktaking.
Green, and so acted by myself in getting into the house. "Your manner, when I confronted you, impressed me favourably. It was not that of a guilty man. But I could not let an opinion bias me, for, in spite of everything, you might still have been guilty. There was a great possibility that you were an accessory. "One thing struck me. Your walk was uncommonly like that of Harry Goldenburg.
A man working alone would have taken months, perhaps years, in this preliminary work. Then luck favoured us. Our records collected, of course, by organisation contained a portrait of a man strikingly like you" he nodded to Grell "and a comparison of finger-prints told us that the dead man was not you, but Harry Goldenburg.
I found after all that I had increased them, for I met Eileen Lady Eileen Meredith." He paused. Neither of his two hearers said anything. An injudicious remark might break the thread of his thoughts. "When I became engaged to her," Grell resumed, "I knew that it would not be long before Goldenburg would see his chance. I set to work to find Lola, and discovered her as the Princess Petrovska.
