Laura, just tack on the phototelesme," he added, holding the receiver away for a moment. "One moment, French. There, that's right," he added, as Laura, with deft fingers, arranged what seemed to be a sensitised mirror to the instrument. "Now, French, hold up the article just in front of the receiver." French's reply was a little brusque. "What are you getting at, Quest?" he demanded.
We used the phototelesme yesterday afternoon and saw him burn something in the Professor's study. Lenora went up straight away and got hold of the ashes." "Smart girl," Quest murmured, nodding approvingly. "Well?" "There are distinct fragments," Laura continued, "of embroidered stuff such as the Salvation Army girl might have been wearing. We put them on one side, but they aren't enough evidence.
"It's a finger from the Professor's skeleton you've got there," Quest interrupted. "How the blazes did you guess that?" the Inspector demanded. "I'm not kidding," Quest assured him. "I've got a phototelesme at work here. I've seen the bone all right. French, this is interesting. I must think it over." Quest hung up the receiver and rang off. Then he turned towards his two assistants.
I tell you he was scared the whole of the time." "What are you getting at, kid?" Laura demanded. "At Craig, if I can," Lenora replied, moving towards the telephone. "Please give me the phototelesme. I am going to talk to the Professor." Laura adjusted the mirror to the instrument and Lenora rang up. The Professor himself answered the call. "Have you seen the three o'clock edition, Professor?"
"We're ringing up headquarters ourselves, anyway." The plain-clothes man did as he was told. Quest took up the receiver from his telephone instrument and arranged the phototelesme. "Police-station Number One, central," he said, "through to Mr. French's office, if you please. Mr. Quest wants to speak to him. Yes, Sanford Quest. No need to get excited!... All right.
