Hambledon, and, bearing Madeleine's advice in mind, purchased at Kelly's, in Sackville Street, an album book, bound in green morocco, with clasp and lock, which Mr. Kelly protests is quite secure. He looked very well on his charger, but how conceited!
That most secret and most potent of all poisons might be known to Moroni! Indeed, it apparently was known to him, and the endeavour had been to introduce it into my system by means of an infected carpet pin. On leaving Professor Vega I at once sent a note round to Hambledon, and awaited his arrival. When he came I related all the professor had told me.
Hambledon exceedingly, for she certainly did not enjoy the transit. I cannot conceive how people can allow themselves to be so utterly distraught by illness. I feel I can never have any respect for her again; she moaned and lamented in such cowardly fashion, was so peevish all the time on board the vessel, and looked so very begrimed and untidy and plain when she was carried out on Bristol quay.
"Till their troops are out of sight," added he, "I cannot believe you safe." "Hark!" cried Wallace, "the horses are now descending the craig. That must satisfy you, honest Halbert." With these words he flew across the grass, and entering the house, met the returning Marion, who had just bade farewell to Hambledon.
"I've got one or two rather urgent things on to-morrow," he replied. "But if you really wish me to go with you I can telephone to my friend Hardy and ask him to look after them for me. We shan't be away very long, I suppose?" "A week at the most," I said. "I want to establish the true identity of this banker friend of mine. I have a distinct suspicion of him." "And so have I," Hambledon said.
The same night I embarked it and myself on board a ship of my own, and am now at your feet, brave and just king! no longer Montgomery, but a true Scot in heart and loyalty." "And as a kinsman, generous Hambledon!" returned Bruce, "I receive and will portion thee.
It was well that he had arranged this, for when at six o'clock Hambledon again went to the hotel the man in uniform told him that Monsieur Suzor was leaving the Quai d'Orsay at eleven o'clock that night by the through express for Madrid. I saw that for me to travel to Spain by the same train as the man who had posed as a banker would be to court exposure.
So it was apparent that Suzor was not a bank official after all! In the meantime Hambledon was keeping watch at the Hôtel du Louvre, and it was not until afternoon that he rejoined me to report what had occurred. It seemed that Suzor had, just before noon, strolled to the Grand Café, where he had met a well-dressed man who was awaiting him.
"Very wily of De Gex to get the police to keep an eye upon me. If I'm not careful I shall suddenly find myself under arrest as a suspicious person who is in the habit of loitering in the vicinity of the great financier." "Yes," I agreed. "This seems to put an end to our present activity does it not?" "Well, he apparently knows that we are watching," Hambledon said.
Hambledon restored her to my care only three days ago, and she has already twenty Beaux to her String, though favouring nobody, I am bound to say, but her own amusement. Yesterday she departed under Mrs.
