"Why not go round York?" asked another voice, which Amaryllis had heard before; but where, she could not remember. "We mustn't waste any time," answered Melchard. "Besides, if more people see you in the streets of a town, fewer look at you than in the country. You'll have to duck in a minute, and I shall pile the bags and things on top." "They hurt me last time," said the softer voice.
Caldegard stretched his hand across the table. Dick turned from his grasp to see Randal pouring terrific black tea into a thick white cup. When he had swallowed three burning gulps of it, he began: "That's Melchard," he said, pointing. "This bundle of letters I took off him. Amongst them you'll find useful information. Read 'em now, superintendent.
When it was over, however, it appeared that the stimulant had been partly assimilated, for Melchard was able to stand. When he had got his arms into the overcoat, Dick led him to the car. From the locker under the seat he produced a thick tumbler. "Get in," he said, and half-filled the glass from the bottle.
I hold the man that shall make it and sell it. I am the leader. I get the key. I catch you by the throat, there in The Manor House, my pretty, red-haired mistress! I catch you while my Melchard, who is clever, prick your arm with the needle. "Oh, yes," said Amaryllis. "But I do not think you are wise to tell all this to me." "Because you tell again? Oh, no, ma'am!
"Get us three firsts to King's Crawss, and 'ave a label ready to smudge on the winder, w'ile me an' my girl gets 'im through to the platform, nice and cushy." Supported on each side, with flaccid legs just able to move in turn, Melchard was guided to a bench some way down the platform, and seated between two bolstering forms to which the contact was disgusting.
For with these thoughts of the evil Melchard came sudden insight into the man's purpose at the foot of the Bull's Neck, and his probable action at the present moment. "He was shooting to drive us into Mut-mut's arms, and to make us believe our danger was all behind us," he reasoned. "And it's a white elephant to a dead rat he's trudging up this road now to find what Mut-mut's left of us.
It was signed "Alban Melchard." It was written on good paper, stamped with the address, and read as follows: "Rue de la Harpe, 31, "Paris, "June 18th. "I fear that you will be surprised at my venturing to write to you, considering the distressing circumstances under which we parted.

But Sir Randal had met her between the door and the stairhead. "Dick tells me I've got to play billiards all alone," he said; and though his self-pity was merely playful, it struck the girl painfully.
Will that be good for your health with the whole game in your hands, too?" Melchard was hit, and Dick thought that he saw his face lose colour. "Well?" he said nervously. "Either fetch medical aid," replied Ockley, "or bury him under the ash-heap. And that's going a bit far for an accident." "Was he pushed?
"This chap Melchard, properly handled, will give the show away, and the League of Nations or some other comic crowd'll corral the lot." "What lot?" asked Amaryllis. "The crew your father told us about. My dear, I wanted to please you by pleasing him. To do it I had to let you run a shade more risk and endure a lot more discomfort.
