The ceremony commences by shaving the infant's head; and a dish called Dega, made of pounded corn and sour milk, is prepared for the guests. If the parents are rich, a sheep or a goat is commonly added. The feast is called Ding koon lee, "the child's head shaving."
He came up and addressed them jointly would they go back with him at once to New Scotland Yard? the chief wanted to see them for a few minutes. "Come on, Allerdyke," said Fullaway. "We'd better go at once. Van Koon," he continued, turning to his compatriot, "do me a favour just look in at my rooms upstairs, and tell Mrs.
Van Koon and I are on a line of our own, and " "As you like," interrupted Allerdyke, "but all the same, if I were in your place I shouldn't refuse a chance of acquiring information. Even if you don't want to tell the police anything, that's no reason why you shouldn't learn something from them." "There's that in it, certainly," assented Fullaway. "All right.
Never mind, too, what Chilverton wants with Van Koon. Nor if there's any connection between Van Koon and Miss Slade, or Mrs. Marlow. The thing to do is to find her!" "You think she's hooked it?" said Allerdyke. "I should say that something said by some of you at that talk this morning in Fullaway's room has startled her into action," answered Appleyard. "Now let's get at facts.
"Delkin will have to be asked," interrupted Van Koon. "You will not face the facts, Fullaway. That's a fact, Fullaway, which cannot be got over." "Psha!" exclaimed Fullaway. "I suppose you think Delkin, who could buy up the best jeweller's shop in London or Paris and throw its contents to the street children to play with " "What is it that's in your mind, Mr.

He hesitated and while he hesitated Fullaway strode on, flung open his office door, turned to the letter-box at the back, and took out some letters and a telegram. He tore the telegram open, and the next instant flung it on the table with a fierce exclamation.
Suddenly he nodded his head towards a far corner. "There's Delkin and the Princess, and the man who was with them, sitting at a table over there," he said. "I didn't know that Delkin and the Princess were acquainted. But then, of course, they're both staying in this hotel, and they're both American. Well, shall we go to them now, Allerdyke, or shall we sit down here and wait a bit for Van Koon?"
"But," he said, tapping the table in emphasis of his words, "there was somebody else who knew of this deal, somebody whose name Fullaway there steadfastly refuses to bring in. Delkin!" Fullaway suddenly laughed, throwing up his arms. "Delkin!" he exclaimed satirically. "A millionaire several times over! The thing's ridiculous, Van Koon! Delkin would kick me out if I went and asked him "
"There you are!" he said. "The secretary knew Delkin's secretary! How do we know that Delkin's secretary ?" "Oh, that's all rot, Van Koon!" exclaimed Fullaway testily. "Delkin's secretary, Merrifield, has been with him for years to my knowledge, and " But Allerdyke had suddenly risen and was picking up his hat from a side table. He turned to Fullaway as he put it on. "I quite agree with Mr.
Schmall had set up a business here in the East End as a small manufacturing chemist he'd evidently a perfect and a diabolical genius for chemistry, especially in secret poisons and down there Merrifield and Van Koon used to go. Also, there used to go there the young man Ebers, or Federman we'll stick to Ebers who, from Merrifield's account, seems to have been a tool of Schmall's.
