I pretended that I was in search of some missing relative, and they showed me three cases of bad accidents, the victims of which had not been identified. And the third was Van Sneck." Littimer told his story with just the suggestion of triumph in his voice. Henson was watching him with the keenest possible interest. "Do you know how Van Sneck got there?" he asked. Littimer nodded.
Taylor is a person who nobody seems to have seen, but who from time to time does a vast service to the community at large. He is not exactly a philanthropist, for he is well rewarded for his labours both by the police and his clients. Suppose Mr. Merritt here had done some wrong." "A great effort of imagination," Littimer murmured, gently.
Your print is in the house?" "It hangs in the gallery at the present moment." "Very good. Then, my lord, what do you say to this?" Bell took the roll of paper from his pocket, and gravely flattened it out on the table before him, so that the full rays of the electric light should fall upon it. Littimer was a fine study of open-mouthed surprise.
My idea was to climb through the window, abstract the Rembrandt, and slip quietly into my usual bedroom here. Then in the morning, after the picture has been missed, I was going to tell the whole story. That is why Mr. Littimer entered this way and why I followed when I found that he had failed to return. It was a foolish thing to do, and the dénouement has been most humiliating.
Frank Littimer shook off his grasp gently. He looked up for the first time. "I expected nothing," he said. "I I did not come of my own free will. I am silent now for the sake of myself and others. But the time may come God knows it has been long delayed. For the present, I am bound in honour to hold my tongue." He flashed one little glance at Henson, a long, angry glance.
You were under the impression that you possessed the only copy of the 'Crimson Blind' in existence. When you lost yours and a copy of the picture was found in my possession, you were perfectly justified in believing that I was the thief." "I did take that extreme view of the matter," Littimer said, drily. "Under the circumstances I should have done the same thing.
In a word, we departed to the regret and admiration of all concerned, and left a great many people very sorry behind US. Do you stay long here, Littimer? said I, as he stood waiting to see the coach start. 'No, sir, he replied; 'probably not very long, sir. 'He can hardly say, just now, observed Steerforth, carelessly. 'He knows what he has to do, and he'll do it.
"No, I shall not tell you anything more at present. You shall hear the whole story when Reginald Henson stands in the pillory before you. You know now that Henson was at the bottom of the plot to destroy Dr. Bell's character?" "I always felt that our Reginald was a great scoundrel," Littimer purred over his cigarette.
And she knew also that Henson would try and obtain the print without making his presence at Littimer Castle obvious. He was bringing Frank Littimer with him, and was therefore going to use the younger man in some cunning way. That Henson would try and get into the castle surreptitiously Chris had felt from the first.
"'You will never come back again, friend, the Prince said. "Rupert Littimer said he was prepared to run all risk of that. 'And if I do die you shall tell my wife, sir, he said. 'And when the child is born, tell him that his father died as he should have done for his King and for his country." "'Oh, there is a child coming? Rupert asked.
