Instead, that night I personally began an investigation to see what disposition was made of the sugar. I found that the ships discharged their cargoes in Hoboken, that the sugar was there loaded on barges, and those barges hauled up a small stream to the little town of Coaldale, all consigned to a Mr. Hugo Kellner. "It took Friday, all day Saturday, and a great part of to-day to learn all this.
The maid started to follow more staidly. "Just a moment," said Mr. Wynne crisply, in an undertone. "Miss Kellner is not to be allowed to use the telephone under any circumstances. You understand?" She nodded silently and went up the stairs. An hour passed. From the swivel chair at his desk Mr.
While at the hotel I tried to obtain the file of the Times. I wanted to look back and see if I could find the account of the magisterial proceedings against the truly unlucky William Evans. After all, should I call him unlucky? But the file of the Times was not forthcoming. I asked the sleepy-eyed Teutonic waiter for it. He merely answered, with the fatuous patronising grin of the German kellner:
The actor proved not superfluous on the whole. He created at once a great deal of noise and raised the spirits of the company, which were beginning to be depressing. And every minute he cried out in a stentorian voice: "KELLNER! Chompa-a-agne!" although Simeon, who was accustomed to his manner paid very little attention to these cries. There began a truly Russian hubbub, noisy and senseless.
Wynne turned slightly in his chair and regarded the diamond expert with an expression of astonishment on his face. The beady black eyes were all aglitter with the effort of repression, and some intangible message flashed in them. "In the first place," resumed Mr. Wynne, as if there had been no interruption, "Mr. Kellner here " "Don't!" the expert burst out again desperately. "Don't!
Please don't make jokes of that sort unless you wish to destroy the little appetite I have left! Never mind I won't do it again. Here 's our Waiter at last. Horatia. Will you kindly let us have that trout at once? Zis hote vedder ze drout, he vill nod stay! No, of course not well, let me see, now, what can you ? The E.A. Here, you Kellner, come here, can't you? What the Von minute.
"I understood you to say," the chief resumed, heedless of the note of irony in the other's voice, "that you and Miss Kellner are to be married?" "Yes." "And that she is the only heir of her grandfather?" "Yes." "Therefore, at his death, the diamonds would become her property?" For one instant Mr.
I hunted up one or two points which occurred to me, and then went to Austin Friars to call upon Mr. Delverton. He was out of town, yachting, but his partner came into the clerks' office to see me. I told him that my business with Mr. Delverton was private. This partner, I discovered, was Kellner, who had formerly been a clerk in the firm.
Erica could hardly have restrained her indignation had not two real dangers drawn off her attention from her own wounded feelings. Her father was there any hateful hint that he was mixed up with Herr Kellner? She glanced anxiously down the page. No, at least that falsehood had not been promulgated.
Kellner was nearly eighty-one years old, and it was fifty-eight years ago that he began work here. The cubes there were made and placed in position thirty years ago; the guns have been there for twenty-eight years so long, in fact, that recollection of them has passed from the minds of the men who made them.
