"Call it intuition, if you like. I prefer to call it the result of logical mental process. I'm right, of course?" "Of course you are. I'd claimed that case for my own. I had cut my initials inside, as I showed Marley when I went to the police-station. And then Marley tells me how I paid Mossa nearly £1,000; how the money must have come into my hands in the nick of time.
I lost it this morning, and I shrewdly suspect that I left it behind me at the office of Mr. Mossa." "The case was sent here by Mr. Mossa himself," Marley admitted. "Then, of course, it is mine. I had to give Mr. Mossa my opinion of him this morning, and by way of spiting me he sent that case here, hoping, perhaps, that I should not recover it.
This Pharaoh had two sons, the younger of whom, named Mossa, had acquired much knowledge from the sages of Israel. And Mossa was beloved by all in Egypt for his kindness of heart and the pity he showed to all sufferers. When Mossa saw that the Israelites, in spite of their many sufferings, had not forsaken their God, and refused to worship the gods of Egypt, created by the hands of man.
Prince Mossa went before his father, begging him to lighten the burden of the unhappy people; Pharaoh, however, became incensed with rage, and ordered that they should be tormented more than before. And it came to pass that Egypt was visited by a great calamity. The plague decimated young and old, the healthy and the sick; and Pharaoh beheld in this the resentment of his own gods against him.
And if Steel does not see the police advertisement he will lose his pretty toy, and serve him right. Yes, that is the way to serve him out." Mr. Mossa proceeded to put his scheme into execution whilst David was strolling along the sea front. He was too excited for work, though he felt easier in his mind than he had done for months.
"To hear that I have come to pay you in full," David said, grimly; "£974 16s. 4d. up to yesterday, which I understand is every penny you can rightfully claim. Here it is. Count it." He opened the cigar-case and took the notes therefrom. Mr. Mossa counted them very carefully indeed. The shade of disappointment was still upon his aquiline features.
And it was some little time before Mr. Mossa was calm enough to see the diamonds winking at him. "Our friend is in funds," he muttered. "Well, he shall have a dance for his cigar-case. I'll send it up to the police-station and say that some gentleman or other left it here by accident. And if that Steel comes back we can say that there is no cigar-case here.
Then Mossa made known to the Hebrew slaves that he had obtained their freedom in the name of his and their God, the God of Israel; and with them he left the city and departed from the land of Egypt. He led them back to the land which, because of their many sins, had been taken from them.
It never passed out of my possession to my knowledge. Next day I leave it at the office of Messrs. Mossa and Mack, and it gets into the hands of the police." "Was it not possibly changed there, David?" "No, because of the initials I had scratched inside it.
Mossa and Mack, whose brass-plate bore the legend that the gentry in questions were solicitors, and that they also had a business in London. As David strode into the offices of the senior partner that individual looked up with a shade of anxiety in his deep, Oriental eyes. "If you have come to offer terms," he said, nasally, "I am sorry "
