Pawle, after glancing at his desk-diary. "And tomorrow morning," remarked Viner, "Hyde comes up before the magistrate again, on remand." He was half-minded to tell Mr. Pawle there and then of his secret dealings with Methley that day, but on reflection he decided that he would keep the matter to himself. Viner had an idea which he had not communicated even to Methley.
The two solicitors went away; and Viner, who had closely watched Methley during the interview, followed them out and hailed Methley in the corridor outside Mr. Carless' room. "May I have a word with you?" he asked, drawing him aside. "I don't know if you remember, but I saw you the other night in the parlour of that old tavern in Notting Hill you came in while I was there?"
He told these people Methley and Woodlesford, that he had at one time or another lived and traded in South Africa, India, China, Japan and the Malay Settlement finally he had settled down in Australia. He had kept himself familiar with events at home knew of his father's death, and he saw no end of advertisements for himself.
Now, we, Carless and Driver, sent out those advertisements our name was appended to every one of them, wherever they appeared. Why, then, when this man if he is the real man returned home, did he not come to us? For there are three persons in this office who but wait!" He touched a bell; the clerk who had announced Methley and Woodlesford put his head in at the door. "Ask Mr.
After inspecting them, Methley and Woodlesford came to the conclusion that their caller really was what he claimed to be the missing man!" "What were the papers?" demanded Mr. Pawle. "Oh!" replied Mr. Carless, looking at his client. "Letters, certificates, and the like, all, according to Methley and Woodlesford, excellent proofs of identity." "Did they show them to Your Lordship?" asked Mr. Pawle.
Now, that small but very important fact is most likely not known to Methley and Woodlesford's client but it's known to Driver and to Portlethwaite and to me, and now to all of you. If this man comes here look at his right hand! If he possesses his full complement of fingers, well " Mr. Carless ended with a significant grimace, and Mr.
No need to wait for the adjourned coroner's inquest, Viner the thing'll come out now!" Viner did not understand. He saw Hyde turned out of the box; he saw the claimant, after an exchange of remarks with Methley, step into it; he heard him repeat on oath the denial he had just uttered, after stating that his name was Cave, and that he lived at the Belmead Hotel, Lancaster Gate; and he saw Mr.
but Methley reminded me of a passage in the Iliad in which Neptune is represented as looking at the scene of action before Ilion from above the island of Samothrace.
Portlethwaite, after Methley and his client had left Carless and Driver's office, had given certain instructions to one of his fellow-clerks, a man named Millwaters, in whose prowess as a spy he had unlimited belief. Millwaters was a fellow of experience. He possessed all the qualities of a sleuth-hound and was not easily baffled in difficult adventures.
He, suddenly aware that Hyde had pointed to him, was obviously greatly taken aback and embarrassed he looked sharply at the prisoner, knitted his brows, shook his head, and turning to Methley muttered something which no one else caught. Mr. Millington-Bywater looked at him and turned to his client.
