Let me explain something first Andie Lauriston here has been living in London for two years he's a literary gift, and he hopes to make a name, and perhaps a fortune. I've succeeded to my father's business, and I'm only here in London on a visit. And it's well I came, for Andie wanted a friend. Now, Mr.
The inspector drew Ayscough aside and they talked in whispers for a few minutes, eyeing Lauriston now and then; eventually they approached him. "I understand you're known here, and that you live in the neighbourhood," said the inspector. "You'll not object if the sergeant goes round with you to your lodgings you'll no doubt be able to satisfy him about your respectability, and so on.
But now go away, Purdie, and let me sleep I'm dead done for!" Within ten minutes of leaving them, Purdie was back with Lauriston and Melky Rubinstein, and motioning them away from Sussex Square. "That's more extraordinary than the rest!" he said, as they all moved off. "Levendale's there, in his own house, right enough!
In the midst of their reflections one of the waitresses came to the table at which the two friends sat: Lauriston quicker of wit than Purdie in such matters immediately ordered coffee and sandwiches and until they came, lighted a cigarette and pretended to be at ease, though he was inwardly highly excited. "It's as if one were waiting for an explosion to take place!" he muttered to Purdie.
But Purdie was thinking now as he made his way towards Levendale's London house that he really knew very little of this man who was evidently mixed up in some way with the mystery into which young Andie Lauriston had so unfortunately also become intermingled.
"Do you wish to ask this witness any questions?" he enquired. Lauriston rose to his feet. "No!" he replied. "What he says is quite correct. That is, as regards myself." The Coroner hesitated a moment; then he motioned to Hollinshaw to leave the box, and once more turned to Lauriston. "We will have your evidence now," he said.
Here then, said Lauriston to himself, were eleven men, all in a secret and there were doubtless others amongst the company whom he did not know. "But where's Melky Rubinstein?" he whispered suddenly. "I should have thought he'd have turned up he's been so keen on finding things out." "There's time enough yet," answered Purdie. "It's not one. I don't see the Jap, either.
However, liberty of the press did once contribute to give him infinite gratification, namely, when all the London journals mentioned the transports of joy manifested in London on the arrival of General Lauriston, the bearer of the ratification of the preliminaries of peace.
"I compliment you on the battle of Raab," wrote the emperor to Prince Eugene; "it is the grand-daughter of Marengo and Friedland." General Lauriston immediately laid siege to the place, which capitulated on the 23rd June. Marshal Davout had bombarded Presburg without effect for several days, in the hope of succeeding in destroying the bridge; the garrison defended itself heroically.
"Mind your p's and q's about them blooming rings and watch that Parminter!" But Melky was mistaken the official eye did not turn upon Lauriston but, upon the public benches of the court, as if it were seeking some person there. "There is a witness who has volunteered a statement to the police," said the Coroner. "I understand it is highly important. We had better hear him at this point.
