"I was looking over Levendale's shoulder when he wrote that bit of a cheque, mister," answered Melky, in his quietest accents. "You're off to his bank to turn it into cash. And if you walk into that bank well, you'll never walk out again, alone! Mister! they're going to collar you there there's a trap laid for you!"
"Look here!" said Purdie, coming to a sudden decision, "I'm going round there. I want to know what this means I'm going to know. You ladies had better go home. If you others like to come as far as the corner of Sussex Square, come. But I'm going to Levendale's house alone. I'll find something out." He said no more until, Zillah and Mrs.
The Spring Street Post Office, at which Levendale's wire had been handed in, was only a few minutes' walk from the house. It stood, in fact, between Purdie's hotel and Sussex Square, and he had passed it on his way to Levendale's.
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.
Lauriston a-going to marry Zillah, and Mr. Purdie's a-fixing it up with Levendale's governess, and oh, Mrs. Goldmark, ain't I worshipped you every time I come to eat my dinner in your eating house? Ain't you the loveliest woman in all Paddington. Say the word, Mrs. Goldmark don't you see I'm like as if I was that hungry I could eat you?" Then Mrs.
"I've had some information on Levendale and Purvis this very afternoon," said Ayscough. He turned to the other officials. "I hadn't a chance of telling you of it before," he continued. "I was at Levendale's house at three o'clock, making some further enquiries. I got two pieces of news.
To start with that bottle out of which Levendale filled a small phial, which he put in his waistcoat pocket when he went out for the last time you remember, Mr. Purdie, that his butler told you of that incident well, that bottle contains chloroform I took a chemist there to examine it and some other things. That's item one. The other's a bit of information volunteered by Levendale's chauffeur.
