Walter stood staring at the speaker. The description was exactly that of Weirmarsh and Enid Orlebar. The doctor often wore an astrachan-trimmed overcoat, while both dress and hat were the same which Enid had worn three months ago!
"If Bellairs was killed in so secret and scientific a manner that no trace was left, he was killed with a cunning and craftiness which betrays a jealous woman rather than a man. Besides, there are other facts we have gathered which go further to prove that Enid Orlebar is the actual culprit." "What are they? Tell me, Trendall."
James Orlebar Cloyster exactly the same service as you and Blake. And I'm getting money from him, too." "Serpose I oughtn't ter 'ave let on, that's it, ain't it?" from Tom Blake. "Seemed to me that if one of the three gave the show away to the other two, the compact made by each of the other two came to an end automatically," from myself.
"My conclusion the only one that can be formed," he answered at last, disregarding his friend's question "is that Enid Orlebar is the guilty person; and before long I hope to be in possession of that secret which she strove by her crime to suppress a secret which I feel convinced we shall discover to be one of an amazing character." Walter stood motionless as a statue.
After I had given him a suitable version of Margaret's visit, he told me he was engaged to Eva. That was an astounding thing; but what was more astounding was that James had somehow got wind of the real spirit of my interview with Margaret. I have called James Orlebar Cloyster a fool; I have called him a villain. I will never cease to call him a genius.
"This is a most distressing thought that Enid Orlebar is a murderess!" he declared after a moment's pause. "It is I admit. Yet we cannot close our eyes to such outstanding facts, my dear chap. Depend upon it that there is something behind the poor fellow's death of which we have no knowledge. In his death your friend Miss Orlebar sought safety.
That book contained much that might be of interest to him in the near future. Of a sudden the handle of the door turned, and Mrs. Kelsey, the old housekeeper, in rusty black, admitted Enid Orlebar without the ceremony of asking permission to enter. The girl was dressed in a pearl grey and pink sports coat, with a large black hat, and carried a silver chain handbag.
"Well," replied the keen, alert man, who, again seated in his writing-chair, bent slightly towards his visitor, "well, as you've asked me to reveal all I know, Fetherston, I will do so, even though I feel some reluctance, in face of the fact that Miss Orlebar is your friend." "That makes no difference," declared the other firmly. "I am anxious to clear up the mystery of Bellairs' death."
I am the Orlebar Paper-welt, Pulp-panel Company for aeroplane bodies; and I am the Rush Silencer for military aeroplanes absolutely silent which the Continent leases under royalty. With three exceptions, the British aren't wise to it yet. That's all I represent at present. You saw me take off my hat to your late Queen? I owe every cent I have to that great an' good Lady.
His lips were pressed tightly together, his brows contracted. He was again to meet Enid Orlebar. He shot a covert glance at the general walking at his side. In his eyes showed an unusual expression, half of suspicion, half of curiosity. Next instant, however, it had vanished, and he laughed loudly at a story Tredennick was telling. ENID was standing on the steps of the hotel when the men arrived.
