We have talked over the case, and I have received much assistance from Miss I mean from this very clever lady, the Princess Karacsay," and Steel bowed. "But," stammered Ware, still puzzled, "you believe Miss Denham to be guilty. Surely the Princess will not " "No, no!" came from the divan in the deep-toned voice of the woman. "Anne is my friend. I would not help him to arrest her."
"Oh, I simply mean that as Princess Karacsay and Anne both came from Jamaica, it was strange that they should go away to London together. Don't you think so, too? There must be some connection." Giles started to his feet. "Anne," he said loudly, "do you know that Anne is here?" "She was here," said Mrs. Parry, with a gratified chuckle; "but where she has been hiding is more than I know.
You see it yourself, do you not, Mr. Ware?" "Yes," replied Giles, "and I often wondered at it. Now, however, that I know you are half-sisters, I wonder no longer." Princess Karacsay nodded her approval, and Olga continued. "When I learned that Anne's name was Denham I rather drew back from her.
"I don't make mistakes," retorted Mrs. Parry, with a snort. "I know a new gardener who is employed at the Priory. He told Jane, who told me, that Princess Karacsay, the mother, called on Franklin the other morning and entered the house. She was with him for over an hour. He came to the door to see her off. The gardener was attending to some shrubs near at hand.
"Here you are, Steel," he said coolly. "Got the warrant?" "How do you know I have a warrant?" asked the other, taken aback. "I knew you would find out the truth the moment Mrs. Franklin, or rather, I should say the Princess Karacsay, discovered me. She has told you all and has put you on my track." "Dane put me on your track." "Dane? Well, I'm not surprised. He's a scoundrel.
And if the Princess Karacsay had not been so candid, Ware doubted very much if Olga would have confessed her relationship with Anne. Yet on second thought he fancied he might be doing the Hungarian sister wrong. In spite of her proposed treachery, she was really fond of Anne, and perhaps would not have delivered her up to the police.
Princess Karacsay saw this, and urged her daughter to tell her story quickly before she collapsed, so that the police might be sent in search of Anne. "The police will never find her," said Olga, with an effort. "She is with Mark Dane. He has taken her away." "Dane?" echoed Giles. "Denham's secretary?" Olga looked at him with an inquiring air. "How much do you know?" she asked, bracing herself up.
Some of the crew of the lost ship had been picked up. As they were all more or less connected with the Scarlet Cross Society, Steel took charge of them and conducted them to London. Giles accompanied Anne to her mother. The Princess Karacsay received her with open arms, and Olga with many professions of gratitude. "You have undone all the harm I caused," said Olga to Giles.
Besides, there is one who can tell you all about Anne and her father much better than I can. The Princess Karacsay. Do you know her?" "I have seen the name somewhere." "Probably on a programme," said Mrs. Cairns composedly. "Oh, don't look so astonished. The Princess is really a Hungarian aristocrat. She quarrelled with her people, and came to England with very little money.
He uttered a cry. "Anne," he said, stretching his arms. "Anne, my dearest!" Even as he spoke the room was flooded with the light of the electric lamps. The woman by the window turned and came forward smiling. With a feeling of bitter disappointment Giles recoiled. It was not Anne. He had been deceived by a chance resemblance. "I can quite understand your mistake," said the Princess Karacsay.
