"Most unfortunate," he said, folding it up and puffing out his cheeks; "but it's too late. The name of Krill was in those printed bills a portrait also, and now " "Well, what?" asked Paul, seeing the lawyer hesitated. "Come inside and you'll see," said Pash, and conducted Beecot into the inner room.
"By the way, sir, why did you not tell Hurd that Tray gave you the opal brooch?" Pash turned all the colors of the rainbow. "Does that brat I took into my office out of charity dare to say that he did." "He does, and what is more, Mr. Hurd is bringing him here to make the statement, face to face with you. I am determined to get to the bottom of this case, sir, for Miss Norman's sake.
"I haven't changed." "Glad to hear it." "I admire his pluck." "It's a dangerous quality admiration. Sure the old 'pash' hasn't looked up a bit?" "Quite sure." "Still it 'curred to me you were shaken some at the treatment we're serving out to him." "That's not surprising. I merely wanted to get my own back, not not " She left the sentence unfinished.
And Billy Hurd, knowing all about the case and taking a profound interest in it by reason of the mystery which environed it, was selected to follow up what clues there were. But while London was still seething with the tragedy and strangeness of the crime, Mr. Jabez Pash came to the heterogeneously-furnished sitting-room in Gwynne Street to read the will.

"It's a lie a lie " "Don't excite yourself, Mr. Pash.
"Have you seen him since?" "I have not seen him since. But I am glad that I saved the property of my client." "Was Norman rich?" "Very well off indeed, but he did not make his money out of his book-selling business. In fact," said Pash, putting the tips of his fingers delicately together, "he was rather a good judge of jewels." "And a pawnbroker," interrupted Hurd, dryly.
No need to let all London know the truth." "I don't know it," said Pash, as Paul closed the door and returned to his seat.

Come, sir," Hurd became stern; "this boy Tray says he gave the opal brooch to you. And I believe he did.
Aaron was a clever business man, and Pash was professionally disgusted that he had left behind him such a loose testament. "Why didn't he come to me and have it properly drawn up?" he asked as he stood in the cellar before the open safe with the scrap of paper in his hand. Deborah, standing near, with her hands on her haunches, laughed heartily.
