Hume-Frazer has allowed himself to become run down," said the barrister, with the nonchalance of one who discussed the prospects of to-morrow's weather. "What he needs at the moment is some soup and a few biscuits. You, Mrs. Capella, might procure these without bringing the servants here, especially if Miss Layton were to help you." Without a word, the two ladies quitted the room.
It was foolish on my part to kill Alan Hume-Frazer, even though he was my enemy. I should have let him live, and tortured him by fear. You English dread these scandals worse than death. We Japanese fear neither. For I am a Japanese, and I am proud of it, although my ancestor was David Hume of Glen Tochan, who fought and killed the man who robbed his father."
With habitual caution, he glanced around to assure himself that no other person was within earshot; then he said vehemently: "I tell you, Mr. Brett, that swine killed Sir Alan Hume-Frazer." "You use strong language." "Not stronger than he deserves." "What are you doing here?" "I heard he was in London, and watched him.
Ooma, so instead of describing you to him I described Mr. Hume-Frazer from what my husband told me of his appearance in the dock. He was the first man I could think of, and it seemed to be best, as the quarrel was between them. Only I gave him a beard and moustache, so as to puzzle him more. Didn't I, Nummie? I told you when I came home." So Mrs.
I came to England and resolved to be an Englishman. But I needed money. Do you remember our motto, 'A new field gives a small crop'? The first Japanese Hume did not prosper. He was a good fighter, but he saved no yen. So I applied to my family. I came here on the New Year's Eve, and Sir Alan Hume-Frazer saw me walking up the avenue. He stepped out through that window to meet me.
But it behoved him to rescue the ladies from an impasse. "When you reached Stowmarket did the stationmaster exhibit any marked interest in you?" he inquired. "Well, now, that beats the band," cried Robert. "He looked at me as though I had seven heads and horns to match. But how did you know that?" "Merely on account of your marked resemblance to David Hume-Frazer.
One would have thought his vengeance would be directed against Brett, whom he must have credited by this time with his capture. No; he singled out a Hume-Frazer for his last attack. The instrument struck a button on Robert's coat and fell to the floor, where it lay twisted out of shape by the force of the impact. It was a hypodermic syringe. Again Ooma uttered that weird cry.
"The man must have had some place in which to change his clothes, for he would not court attention by walking about in evening dress by broad daylight He met and spoke with Alan Hume-Frazer that afternoon. The result was unsatisfactory. The stranger resolved to visit him again at night the night of the ball.
To sum up, Winter, let us find such an individual, a Hume-Frazer with black, deadly eyes, with a cold, calculating, remorseless brain, with a knowledge of trick and fence not generally an attribute of the Anglo-Saxon race let us lay hands on him, I say, and you can book him for kingdom come, viâ the Old Bailey." "Yes, sir!" broke in Winter excitedly. "But the motive!" "Et tu, Brute!
"The old gentleman, it appeared, allowed Miss Hume-Frazer £5,000 per annum during his life. His son voluntarily continued this allowance, but the brother and sister continued to live apart, he devoted to travel and sport, she to music and art, with a leaning towards the occult a woman divorced from conventionality and filled with a hatred of restraint.
