Sabin's attention was directed solely to one group of men who stood a short distance away before the counter drinking champagne. The central person of the group was a big man, with an unusually large neck, a fat pale face, a brown moustache tinged with grey, and a voice and laugh like a fog-horn.
"For the unfortunate thing is the thing which obliged me whether I would or no and you will see from the dates that I have hesitated a long time to bring Judith Sabin's statement to your notice is that she seems to have talked to some one else in the neighbourhood before she died, besides myself. Her son declares that she saw no one. I have questioned him; of course without revealing my object.
Then Horser saw the door leading into the bed-chamber, and flung himself against it with a hoarse cry of rage. "Break it open!" he cried to the policemen. They hammered upon it with their clubs. Mr. Sabin's quiet voice came to them from the other side. "Pray do not disturb me, gentlemen," he said. "I am reading." "Break it open, you damned fools!" Horser cried.
"You left America," Passmore said, "in search of your wife, formerly Countess of Radantz, who had left you unexpectedly." "It is true!" Mr. Sabin answered. "Madame la Duchesse on reaching London became the guest of the Duchess of Dorset, where she has been staying since. Whilst there she has received many visits from Mr. Reginald Brott."

"I am a weak man, Mr. Horser, but I am never without the means of self-defence," Mr. Sabin said in a still, cold tone. "Be so good as to sit down in that easy-chair." Mr. Horser hesitated. For one moment he stood as though about to carry out his first intention.
Sabin's incognito had been unavailing, for he had stayed at the hotel several times as he remembered with an odd little pang with Lucille, and the head-waiter, with a low bow, ushered them to their table. Mr. Skinner saw the preparations for their repast, the oysters, the cocktails in tall glasses, the magnum of champagne in ice, and chuckled.
Merkle rose with relief, shook the Senator's limp and pudgy hand, then departed, knowing that the secret of Jarvis Hammon's death was quite as safe in Sabin's keeping as in his own.
The sight of Lucille standing by Mr. Sabin's side, her hand lightly resting upon his, her dark eyes full of inscrutable tenderness, maddened him. He was flouted and ignored.
