I had an idea that America was a country remarkable for the amount of liberty enjoyed by its inhabitants. Your proposed course of action seems scarcely in keeping with this." "What are you going to do? Come, I've got to have an answer." "I don't quite understand," Mr. Sabin remarked, with a puzzled look, "what your official position is in connection with the police." Mr.
He stooped and picked it up, a certain stealthiness apparent in his movement. Felix watched him in amazement. "It is Lady Carey's, is it not?" he asked. "Yes. Be silent. I will give it back to her presently." A waiter served them with coffee. Mr. Sabin was idly sketching something on the back of his menu card. Felix broke into a little laugh as the man retired. "Mysterious as ever," he remarked.
Mr. Sabin frowned. "You are not glad to see me, Annette!" She leaned over the counter. "For monsieur's own sake," she whispered, "go!" Mr. Sabin stood quite still for a short space of time. "Can I rest in there for a few minutes?" he asked, pointing to the door which led into the room beyond. The woman hesitated. She looked up at the clock and down again.

At precisely ten o'clock on the following morning Duson brought chocolate, which he had prepared himself, and some dry toast to his master's bedside. Upon the tray was a single letter. Mr. Sabin sat up in bed and tore open the envelope. The following words were written upon a sheet of the Holland House notepaper in the same peculiar coloured crayon.
"Duson was, after all, a valet, a person of little importance. There is no one to whom his removal could have been of sufficient importance to justify such extreme measures. With you it is different." Mr. Sabin knocked the ash from his cigarette. "Why not be frank with me, Mr. Passmore?" he said. "There is no need to shelter yourself under professional reticence.
"It's the only scrap of identifying matter we've got," he remarked. "Of course it's a dead simple case, and we can probably manage without it. But I guess it's as well to fix the thing right down." "If you will give me a piece of paper," Mr. Sabin said, "I will make you a sketch of the Duchess. The larger the better. I can give you an idea of the sort of clothes she would probably be wearing."
Sabin answered, "but until you can sit up and compose yourself like an ordinary individual, I decline to enter into any conversation with you at all." Again Mr. Horser raised his voice, and the glare in his eyes was like the glare of a wild beast. "Do you know who I am?" he asked. "Do you know who you're talking to?" Mr. Sabin looked at him coolly, and fingered his wineglass.

Mr. Sabin smiled at her, and there was a look in his eyes which shone there for no other woman. "It is in effect," he said, "keeping me young. Events seem to have enclosed us in a curious little cobweb.
Passmore read the letter carefully. "You believe this," he asked, "to be genuine?" Mr. Sabin smiled. "I am sure of it!" he answered. "You recognise the handwriting?" "Certainly!" "And this came into your possession how?" "I found it on the table by Duson's side." "You intend to produce it at the inquest?" "I think not," Mr. Sabin answered. There was a short silence.
