It's no common affair old Daniel Multenius was attacked by somebody somebody! for some special reason and it's going to take a lot of getting at. And I'm convinced this Parslett affair is a development Parslett's been poisoned because he knew too much." "You say you don't know what particular poison was used?" asked Purdie. "It would be something of a clue to know that.
Daniel Multenius was throttled for that diamond Parslett's death arose out of that diamond everything's arisen from that diamond! And, now that you police folks know all this you know what to do. You want the man, or men, who were in Daniel Multenius's shop about five o'clock on that particular day, and who carried off that diamond. Mr. Purvis! are you staying in town?"
"I'm Parslett's landlord, you know," continued Goodyer. "He's had that shop and dwelling-house of me for some years. Now, Parslett's not been doing very well of late, from one cause or another, and to put it in a nutshell, he owed me half a year's rent. I saw him yesterday, and told him I must have the money at once: in fact, I pressed him pretty hard about it.
Mary's Hospital, close by here he was found to have fifty pounds in gold in his pocket. Now, according to Parslett's widow, whom I've seen this morning, Parslett was considerably hard up yesterday. Trade hasn't been very good with him of late, and she naturally knows his circumstances.
You can speak before this gentleman it's all right." "About this affair of last night Parslett, you know," said Goodyer, drawing the detective aside, and lowering his voice, so that passers-by might not hear. "There's something I can tell you I've heard all about the matter from Parslett's wife. But I've not told her what I can tell you, Mr. Ayscough." "And what's that?" enquired the detective.
At the side is a narrow passage or entry: from that you get access to the pledge-office. Now then, Multenius's premises run down one side of this passage: Parslett's run down the other. Parslett's house has a side-door into it, exactly opposite the door into Multenius's pledge office. Is that clear, Mr. Purdie?" "Quite!" answered Purdie. "I understand it exactly."
