However, Sir Charles, we will do our best. I will set on the track without delay the best and cleverest detective in England." "The very man I want," Charles said. "What name, Marvillier?" The principal smiled. "Whatever name you like," he said. "He isn't particular. Medhurst he's called at home. We call him Joe. I'll send him round to your house this afternoon for certain."
Margaret's," explained Mrs. Medhurst, "and we have been taking a stroll along the cliff-path. It began to get too dangerous, so we climbed a fence and cut across somebody's ploughed field, and then through a common, till at last we got on to this road. And now we're wending our steps homeward. You, Morgan, I suppose, are wandering after the labours of the day?"
What more simple for her than to warn her fellow-conspirator of the danger that awaited him if he approached this man Medhurst? However, I was too much frightened by the episode of the cheque to say anything of my nascent suspicions to Charles. I waited rather to see how events would shape themselves. After a while Medhurst's vigilance grew positively annoying.
Medhurst volunteered to walk with me. "How are the Cayleys?" he asked, as we went along. "Thought that handsome Miss Pendennis was going to stay with them all the summer. By Jove, she is a ripper.

Medhurst and Margaret both looked at Morgan and smiled, as if to convey to him that they understood his motives, and to indicate that Diana was not in the secret. Diana's quick eyes, however, noted the movement, though she said nothing just then. "I had reasons," said Morgan, vaguely, feeling he must make some sort of an answer to so definite a question.

The Colonel, very indignant still and acting the part marvellously yielded and went along with them. "Where's Medhurst?" Charles inquired, glancing round as we reached the door. "I wish he had stopped with us."
I want you to come and meet me at Victoria at one o'clock and we shall lunch together before I go on to my hotel. My chief business is to see friend Medhurst about my eyes. I fear my present reading-glasses no longer suit me. By the way, I've some splendid ideas for you to work out. It's quite clear to me now from whom you inherited your genius. Mind you are in time.
