We come to the second period, when the flat in Albemarle Street and the two offices in old Bond Street became vacant and were promptly leased by Mareno, acting on Sir Lucien's behalf, and calling himself sometimes Mr. Isaacs, sometimes Mr. Jacobs, and at other times merely posing as a representative of the Jose Santos Company in some other name. "All went well.
"For Irvin's sake I hope not, Chief Inspector. There are two very curious points in the case apart from the mystery which surrounds the man Kazmah: the fact that Mareno, palpably an accomplice, stayed to face the music, and the fact that Sin Sin Wa likewise has made no effort to escape. Do you see what it means? They are covering the big man Kazmah. Once he and Mrs.
"We get out here and walk," said Sir Lucien. "It would not be wise to drive further. Mareno will deliver our baggage by hand presently." "But we shall all be murdered," cried Mollie, "murdered in cold blood! I am dreadfully frightened!" "Something of the kind is quite likely," drawled Sir Lucien, "if you draw attention to our presence in the neighborhood so deliberately.
'Tis the biggest case ye ever had. Dinna look for Kazmah. Look tee find why the woman went tee him; and try tee find the meanin' o' the sma' window behind the big chair.... Yes" she seemed to be staring at some distant visible object "watch the man Mareno " "But Mrs. Irvin " "Is in God's guid keepin' " "You don't think she's dead!" "She is wairse than dead. Her sins have found her out."
When Sir Lucien reappeared she ran to him excitedly, her charming face flushed and her eyes sparkling. "Oh, Lucy," she cried, "how long will our things be? I'm keen to smoke!" His jaw hardened, and when he spoke it was with a drawl more marked than usual. "Mareno will be here almost immediately," he answered.
Mareno, the silent, yellow-faced servant who had driven the car on the night of Rita's first visit to Limehouse, admitted her. He showed her immediately into the lofty study, where Sir Lucien awaited. "Oh, Lucy Lucy!" she cried, almost before the door had closed behind Mareno. "I am desperate desperate!" Sir Lucien placed a chair for her. His face looked very drawn and grim.
The deep-voiced speaker was Juan Mareno, Mrs. Sin's brother! Mrs. Sin's maiden name was Lola Mareno. "Many of these details were provided by Mareno, who, after the death of his sister, to whom he was deeply attached, volunteered to give crown evidence. Most of them we have confirmed from other sources. "Behold 'Kazmah the dream-reader, then, established in Buenos Ayres.
Sin peremptorily ordered him to wait upstairs in the Cubanis office, and she took her seat in the room from which the Kazmah illusions were controlled. "So carefully arranged was every detail of the business that Rashid, the Egyptian, was ignorant of Sir Lucien's official connection with the Kazmah concern. He had been ordered by Mareno speaking from Sir Lucien's flat to admit Mrs.
Mollie Gretna was staring eagerly out on the opposite side of the car at a group of three dago sailors, whom Mareno had nearly run down, but she turned at that moment and caught Rita's glance. "Don't you simply love it!" she cried. "Some of those men were really handsome, dear. If they would only wash I am sure I could adore them!"
"The journey to Limehouse was performed without discovery aided, no doubt, by the mistiness of the night; and Mareno, returning to the West End, ingeniously inquired for Sir Lucien at his club. Learning, although he knew it already, that Sir Lucien had not been to the club that night, he returned the car to the garage and calmly went back to the flat.
