"The Western Counties Bank did not open its doors yesterday, and it was officially announced at the head-office, Glasgow, that the bank had stopped. It is impossible as yet to forecast the debts, but they are known to be enormous, and as the bank is not limited, it is feared that the consequences to the shareholders will be very serious.
I was telephoning to our head-office. Then am I to take it you want to find out all you can, but you want it smothered?" "Not at all. I have no reason for hushing anything up." The detective gazed at him in a harsh, lower-middle-class way, and Mr. Prohack quailed a little before that glance. "Will you please tell me where you bought the necklace?" "I really forget.

Good night, Mr. Prohack." The man bowed rather awkwardly as he rose from the bed, and departed. "That chap thinks there's something fishy between Eve and me," reflected Mr. Prohack. "I wonder whether there is!"
Halifax, Montreal, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Vancouver soon followed suit. Silent and powerful as the incoming tide, the Society in Canada is working its way into every diocese and parish of the land. The Society is now incorporated by act of Federal Parliament, with Head-Office in Toronto, 67 Bond St.
Of what avail could it be to inform the police or organise search-parties, knowing what I knew only too well? However, I did put Gulliver in communication with the head-office in Sarum, and everything possible was done.
