I'll find a way of waking him up, in case he's asleep, which I doubt. There will be cold chicken and ham and hot coffee." "Lovely!" "And we shall dine with the gods. And now it is all over and done, it was funny, wasn't it?" "Terribly funny!" with a shade of irony. "It would have been funnier still if the real Haggerty hadn't turned up. The patrol had arrived." "But it didn't happen.
It did not seem possible; yet all the evidence pointed to Thomas. Why should Jameson say that he had seen sapphires if he had not? Still, the thing that did not add up was the position with which Thomas had allied himself to the Killigrews. Hang it, there was a figure missing. Haggerty was right. A man with any sympathy had no business man-hunting. After dinner Crawford sought Forbes.
Crawford laid down his cue. From his pocket he took a bottle and gravely handed it to Haggerty. "Smell of the cork, carefully," Crawford advised. Haggerty did so. "Th' stuff they put th' maharajah t' sleep with!" Then Forbes emptied his pockets. "Th' emeralds!" shouted Haggerty. Suddenly he stiffened. "I'm wise. I know.
Among others who came aboard Thomas noted a sturdy thick-chested man in a derby hat bowler, Thomas called it. Quietly this man sought the captain and handed him what looked to Thomas like a cablegram. The captain read it and shook his head. Thomas overheard a little of their conversation. "You're welcome to look about, Mr. Haggerty; but I don't think you'll find the person you seek."
Truth to tell, Haggerty had not expected to find anything; he had not cared to sit idly twiddling his thumbs while the Maharajah vacated his rooms. Probably this Lord Monckton was a la-de-dah chap. Bah! Once in the prince's vacated bedroom Haggerty went to work with classic thoroughness. Not a square foot of the room escaped his vigilant eye.
"He's a very good fellow whom we sometimes meet in the city," said Uncle John. "Haggerty is on the Board, and director in a bank or two, and quite respectable. But the Major " "The Major's going to California just to prove that Haggerty can't speak the truth," observed that gentleman, tersely heading off any threatened criticism.
Three of these were in the Senate, Erskine of Evansville, Haggerty of South Bend and Kline of Huntington; three in the House, Sambor, Bidaman and O'Neal, the last two from Terre Haute, Sambor from Indiana Harbor. The vote to submit an amendment was unanimous in both Houses.
Crawford were shown to their rooms at once, and Haggerty prowled about the stables and garage. Kitty knocked at Mrs. Crawford's door half an hour later. Introductions were made at dinner. The Crawfords knew most of Kitty's guests and so did Forbes, who was very much interested in Lord Monckton. Here was a romance, if there was any truth at all in the newspapers.
"Loon Lake, of course," came Berenice's voice. What a world of social doings she was involved in, thought Cowperwood. She had begun well. The Haggertys were rich coal-mine operators in Pennsylvania. Harris Haggerty, to whose family she was probably referring, was worth at least six or eight million. The social world they moved in was high.
And Haggerty paid his call promptly; only, Thomas saw him first. The morning sun lighted up the rugged Irish face. Thomas not only saw him but knew who he was, and in this he had the advantage of the encounter. One of the first things a detective has to do is to surprise his man, and then immediately begin to bullyrag and overbear him; pretend that all is known, that the game is up.
