The bill to which Miss Loach's name was forged is in the possession of Miss Saxon in fact I may tell you that Basil himself assured me it had been destroyed." "Of course he would say that," scoffed Maraquito, her eyes flashing, "but the check to which Hale's name is affixed is not destroyed, and Hale shall proceed on that." "Hale shall not do so," said Cuthbert resolutely.
I believe Miss Saxon found the knife and then ran out, being afraid lest she should be discovered and accused. This was what Maraquito wanted. She suddenly escaped from me and ran back to the secret entrance. By shifting the floor a little she saw into the room. It was then eleven. She saw also that the knife was gone, and it struck her that Miss Saxon could not be far off."
Octagon, I know, hates me as Caranby's nephew and because she wants to handle this money. But the other?" "Maraquito Gredos." "Bosh! She loves me. I am sure she has worried me enough." "Of course she loves," said Jennings satirically. "She loves you so deeply that she would see you on the scaffold rather than let you marry Miss Saxon. That is why Mrs. Octagon went the other night to see her. Mrs.
I know nothing of the name." Cuthbert shrugged his shoulders. He had said what was necessary and, unwilling to speak further, prepared to go. Maraquito saw him slipping from her grasp. Once gone, she knew he would never come back. With a cry of despair she stretched out her hands. "Cuthbert, do not leave me!" she cried in anguish. "I must leave you. I was foolish to come.
"I did not come here to hear you talk morality, Lord Caranby. You were no saint in your young days. I have heard all about you." "From whom?" "From my Aunt Emilia." "I scarcely think that. You were but a child when she died." "She did not die," said Maraquito coldly. "I have come to tell you that she lived as Miss Loach at Rose Cottage." Caranby started to his feet. "What is this you tell me?"
As he went he could not help shuddering at the thought of the danger from which Juliet had escaped. He remembered how Maraquito had threatened to spoil the beauty of the girl, but he never thought she would have held to her devilish purpose. Moreover, he could not understand how Maraquito in disguise came to see Caranby. The disguise itself was an obvious necessity to escape the police.
"You are quite right," said Maraquito, looking keenly at him, "though I can't guess how you came to think so, seeing you thought my aunt dead. Yes, she loved coining. When I grew up she sent for me and for Daniel Saul " "Who is he? Another of your precious family." "A distant cousin. You know him best as Hale the lawyer."
He felt that it would be impossible to sit down and talk of trivial things as he would have to do in the presence of Le Beau when he had made such a discovery. The case was beginning to take shape. "Can Maraquito have anything to do with the coiners?" he asked himself. "She is English a Jewess Saul is a Jewish name. Can she be of that family?
It is rather a long story. But this man who was caught used a particular kind of scent called Hikui. Maraquito uses it also, and her aunt, Mrs. Herne." "Mrs. Herne? She is not Maraquito's aunt." "She told me herself that she was." "And I tell you that Emilia, who is dead, was the only aunt Maraquito ever had. Why does Mrs. Herne say this?" "That is what I am trying to find out.
I believe," added Maraquito, in a coldblooded manner, "that Emilia made it worse" here Caranby shuddered and Maraquito laughed "oh, my aunt was not a woman to stick at trifles. She insisted on changing dresses with the dead. It was the workmen's dinner-hour and no one was about. She forced Isabella to assist her by threatening to tell the police that Isabella had murdered her sister.
