Zillah turned on the American with a sharp look of enquiry. "Who was he?" she demanded. "Tell us his name!" "His name," replied Guyler, "was Spencer Levendale dealer in diamonds." The effect produced by this announcement was evidently exactly that which the American expected, and he smiled, a little grimly, as he looked from one face to another.
"It says here," answered Elsie, tapping the newspapers with her finger, "that Mr. Levendale lost this book in a 'bus, which he left at the corner of Chapel Street, and that he was so concerned about the loss that he immediately sent advertisements off to every morning newspaper in London. The last part of that is true the first part is not true! Mr.
Levendale after all you've collected in information and after what I told you about what his butler saw that bottle and phial?" "I think that Levendale's in it," replied the detective, cautiously. "I'm sure he's in it in some fashion. Our people are making no end of enquiries about him this morning, in various quarters there's half-a- dozen of our best men at work in the City and the West End, Mr.
"You were in here yourself, before me," said Zillah. "Quite so but I never noticed anything," remarked Ayscough. "Neither have I," replied Zillah. "And don't you think that whoever seized that diamond would have the sense to snatch up anything connected with it! I believe in what Mr. Penniket said just now you find Levendale.
"The same initials!" "Just so!" agreed Mr. Killick. "That's what struck me Sam Levin: Spencer Levendale. Very well! I continue. One day I went to Daniel Molteno's shop to get something repaired, and it struck me that I hadn't seen Sam Levin the last two or three times I had been in. 'Where's your partner? I asked of Daniel Molteno. 'I haven't seen him lately. 'Partner no longer, Mr.
Levendale, it's a fact that the book was neither pawned nor sold at Multenius's, though it must certainly have been brought there between the time you lost it and the time we found the old gentleman lying dead. Now, we the police want to know how it came there. And so I've come round to you. What can you tell me, sir?"
As he turned down Spring Street towards Sussex Square, Purdie hastily reviewed his knowledge of Mr. Spencer Levendale and his family. He had met them, only two months previously, at a remote and out-of-the-way place in the Highlands, in a hotel where he and they were almost the only guests.
And he's shaved off his beard and mustache, and he's wearing tramp's clothes and he and Stephen Purvis have been looking night and day, for that confounded diamond, and for eighty thousand pounds! And what's more, Levendale does not know who killed Daniel Multenius or that he was murdered! But, by George, sirs!" he added, as high above their heads the clock of St.
There was a moment of surprised silence, and then Melky turned eagerly to the American. "Mister!" he said. "Let's be getting at something! What do you know, now, about this here Levendale?" "Not much," replied Guyler. "But I'm open to tell what I do know.
We may take it that Levendale and Purvis knew but who else would?" "Aye! and how are we to find that out?" asked the New Scotland Yard man. "If I only knew that much " But even at that moment and not from any coincidence, but from the law of probability to which Mr. Killick had appealed information on that very point was close at hand.
