"Van Koon, sit down," commanded Fullaway, pushing his compatriot into the inner room. "Mrs. Marlow, fasten that outer door and come in here. We're going to have a stiff conference. Sit down, please, all of you. Now," he went on, when the other three had ranged themselves about the centre table, "There is news, Van Koon.
"Which of 'em is Delkin, then?" asked Allerdyke as the automobile swept into the courtyard. "Big or little?" "The little fellow with the spectacles," replied Fullaway. "Quiet, unobtrusive man, Delkin but cute as they're made. Know the other man, Van Koon?" Van Koon had twisted round and was staring back in the direction from which they had come, he shook his head, a little absent-mindedly.
He too, knew of it, and he told Schmall and Van Koon, but Ebers supplied the detailed information of what you were doing, through access, as Miss Slade said, to your papers which you left lying about, you know." "I know I know!" groaned Fullaway. "Careless careless!" "Very!" said the chief, with a smile at Allerdyke "Teach you a lesson, perhaps. However, there this knowledge was.
Fullaway knew that these jewels were coming " He paused and gave the secretary a keen look. And Allerdyke, watching her just as keenly, saw her face and eyes as calm and inscrutable as ever; it was absolutely evident that nothing could move this woman, no chance word or allusion take her unawares. Van Koon smiled, and leaned nearer.
"We'll wait," replied Allerdyke. He dropped into a chair and drew out his cigarette-case. "Have a drink while we're waiting?" he suggested, beckoning a waiter who was passing. "What's it to be?" "Oh something small, then," said Fullaway. "Dry sherry. Better bring three Van Koon won't be long." But the minutes passed and Van Koon was still absent. Ten minutes more went, and still he did not come.
I said that his accomplice had led him to believe that he had the Nastirsevitch jewels in a parcel in his possession. I said that Van Koon was wrong I had them myself I told him how I got them. He nearly collapsed at that I restored him by saying that the real object of my visit to him was to do a deal with him.
Schmall, he says, was the active partner in all this he took all that into his own hands. According to Merrifield, he does not know, nor Van Koon either, if it was Schmall who went down to Hull and shot Lydenberg, or if Lydenberg was murdered by some person who had a commission for his destruction from some secret society Lydenberg, he believed, was mixed up with that sort of thing."
Look, for example, at those two well-dressed men who are coming across the sward there, swinging their sticks. They " Allerdyke suddenly bent his head towards the table. "Careful!" he said. "Gad! I know one of 'em, anyhow. Van Koon, as I live!" The chief allowed himself to take a quick searching glance at the two men he had indicated.
James Allerdyke, and certainly murdered Lydenberg, Lisette Beaurepaire, and Ebers. Van Koon is an American crook, whose real name is Vankin; Merrifield, as you know, is Mr. Delkin's secretary; the other man is one Otto Schmall, a German chemist, and a most remarkably clever person, who has a shop and a chemical manufactory in Whitechapel.
