They must number thousands and only one of them was worth two sous. Yes," he shook his head in melancholy, "only one of 'em. By Jove! The rest were" he snapped his fingers "that for 'em!" The girl listened against her will. "Jackson!" and van Heerden's voice trembled with passion "will you go or must I force you to go?" Jackson rose with a loud laugh.
We got a special interview with the idea of securing a warrant for van Heerden's arrest. But there is no evidence to convict him on any single charge.
"I am going to interview a gentleman who will probably give me a great deal of information about van Heerden's other residences." "Has he many?" asked Kitson, in surprise. Beale nodded. "He has been hiring buildings and houses for the past three months," he said quietly, "and he has been so clever that I will defy you to trace one of them.
He had often been mistaken for a Fellow of the Royal Society, so learned and detached was his bearing. Yet no speculation upon the origin of species or the function of the nebulæ filled his mind.

At the word 'Go' thousands of his agents begin their work of destruction but the word must come from him.
White had been introduced by van Heerden to capital in a moment of hectic despair and had responded when his financial horizon was clearer by pledging his credit for the furtherance of van Heerden's scheme. "Of course you know that as a shareholder in van Heerden's syndicate you cannot escape responsibility for the purposes to which your money is put," he said, as he rose to go.
She could not rest, and walked about the room examining the framed prints and looking at the books, and occasionally walking to the glass above the dressing-chest to see if any sign was left of the red mark on her cheek where van Heerden's hand had fallen.
