Though to be sure," added Jennings in a vexed tone, "Maraquito did not know then, and perhaps does not know now, that I am a detective." "Clancy and Hale will enlighten her," said Caranby, as the vehicle stopped, "will you not come in?" "Not to-night. I will do myself the honor of calling on you later, when I have more to say. At present I am going to sort out what evidence I have.
Herne had received such a shock from the death of her friend, Miss Loach, that she had gone abroad and would not return for an indefinite time. So I can do nothing in that quarter just now. It is for this reason that I have come here to ask about Maraquito." "From Papa Le Beau," said Peggy, wrinkling her pretty brows. "What can he know of this woman?" "She was a dancer until she had an accident.
"Maraquito may have compelled her to come." "For what reason?" "Well, you see, Emilia was said by Isabella Loach Mrs. Octagon that is to have fallen from the plank. But Mrs. Octagon may have pushed her off." "May have murdered her in fact." "Quite so. Isabella loved me, and was, and is, a very violent woman.
After Emilia died, Maraquito saw me, and we arranged to stop the marriage, and " "I know all about that. I saw you or rather my uncle saw you enter Maraquito's Soho house." "I went on Basil's account also," said Mrs. Octagon, sullenly, "however, I have told you all. What do you wish to do?" "I wish to marry Juliet." "Then I refuse," said Mrs. Octagon, savagely. "In that case I'll tell."
Then we heard a suppressed shriek. We guessed it was a woman, at least I did, but Maraquito was quicker and knew more. She said it was Miss Saxon, and at once became anxious to fix the blame on her. But I was afraid lest things should be discovered, so I dragged Maraquito back to the factory.
The gang with Clancy at its head were sentenced to years of imprisonment, likely to put a stop to all pranks. Maraquito was buried quietly and Mallow erected a gravestone to her, in spite of her wicked designs against Juliet.
He thought it was strange that Maraquito should get the detective to write to him, as he knew she mistrusted the man. And, apart from this, he had no wish to see Senora Gredos again. Things were now smooth between him and Juliet comparatively so and it would not do to rouse the girl's jealousy.
"My real name is Daniel Saul." "Ah! I thought you were a member of the family. There is a likeness to Maraquito " "Nose and eyebrows and Hebrew looks. But I am only a distant cousin. My father married a Christian, but I retain a certain look of his people. He died when I was young. Emilia's mother brought me up.
Cuthbert struggled to rise, but Jennings held him down until he was suddenly dragged away by Maraquito, who was watching the fight eagerly. There she stood in the centre of the room which she had reached with a bound. "I thought so," said Jennings, releasing Mallow and rising quickly. Maraquito threw a small knife at Cuthbert's feet. "Kill him kill him!" she said with hysterical force.
"Besides, you should have put them at the inquest." "The case had not developed so far. I had not so much information as I have now," argued Jennings. "Did you examine Mrs. Herne at the inquest?" "No; she gave her evidence." Jennings hesitated. "She also wore a veil when she spoke, and refused to raise it on account of weak eyes. By the way, do you notice that Maraquito uses a strong scent?"
