By that time they had us covered. Three of them carried rifles, the other two revolvers. One of these was Captain Magnus. Advancing a step or two before the others he ordered us to throw up our hands. Perhaps he meant only the men but my hands and Aunt Jane's and Miss Higglesby-Browne's also went up with celerity. He grinned into our astounded faces with a wolfish baring of his yellow teeth.
The knowledge of this hoard was Miss Higglesby-Browne's alone. It had been revealed to her by a dying sailor in a London hospital, whither she had gone on a mission of kindness you gathered that Miss Browne was precisely the sort to take advantage when people were helpless and unable to fly from her.
There was Aunt Jane's, very tearful, and Miss Higglesby-Browne's, very glum, and the Honorable Cuthbert's, very anxious and a little dazed, and Cookie's, very, very black. The face of Dugald Shaw I did not see, for the quite intelligible reason that I was lying with my head upon his shoulder.
Why the dying sailor chose to make Miss Browne the repository of his secret, I don't know this still remains for me the unsolved mystery. But when the sailor closed his eyes the secret and the map of course there was a map had become Miss Higglesby-Browne's.
