"Let us see," he said, "if we are any nearer to the heart of the mystery of Kazmah. You were at the Regent Street bank today, I understand, at which the late Sir Lucien Pyne had an account?" "I was," replied Kerry. "Next to his theatrical enterprises his chief source of income seems to have been a certain Jose Santos Company, of Buenos Ayres. We've traced Kazmah's account, too.
Irvin to the room of seance and then to go home. He obeyed and departed, leaving Sir Lucien in the waiting-room. "Driven to desperation by 'Kazmah's' taunting words, we know that Mrs. Irvin penetrated to the inner room. I must slur over the details of the scene which ensued. Hearing her cry out, Sir Lucien ran to her assistance. Mrs.
The late Sir Lucien may not have been a director, but I feel sure he was financially interested. Kazmah's was the distributing office, and the importer " "Was Sin Sin Wa!" cried Kerry, his eyes gleaming savagely. "He's as clever and cunning as all the rest of Chinatown put together.
But Rita was in too highly strung a condition to observe this fact, or indeed to observe anything. "Tell me," he said gently. And in a torrent of disconnected, barely coherent language, the tortured woman told him of Kazmah's attempt to force her to lure Quentin Gray into the drug coterie.
Rita for a time was deprived of drugs, and the nervous collapse which resulted revealed to Margaret Halley's trained perceptions the truth respecting her friend. Kazmah's terms proved to be more outrageous than ever, but Rita found herself again compelled to resort to the Egyptian.

She went there fairly regularly to buy perfume." "No' for the fortune-tellin'?" "No. According to Mr. Gray, to buy perfume." "Had Mr. Gray been there wi' her before?" "No.
Door of Kazmah's is locked. I knocked and got no reply." "Damn it! You're talking nonsense! There must be another exit." "No, sir. Colleague has just relieved me. Left two gents over their wine at Prince's." Monte Irvin's color began to fade slowly. "Then it's Pyne!" he whispered. The hand which held the receiver shook. "Brisley meet me at the Piccadilly end of Bond Street. I am coming now."
"From the main stair along beside Kazmah's rooms to a small back stair. This back stair goes from top to bottom of the building, from the end of the same hallway as the main stair." "There is na either way out but by the front door?" "No." "Then if the evidence o' the Spinker man is above suspeecion, Mrs. Irvin and this Kazmah were still on the premises when ye arrived?" "Exactly.
