As the youth by whom this message was sent knew nothing about the senders or whither they had gone, and as Stumps did not again make his appearance, the landlord seized the few things that had been left by the supposed runaways. The invitation that had thus suddenly been given and accepted, was received from a gentleman named Redpath, an official in the Indian telegraph service.
After waiting an hour, I was told to come over to a special table and take a special report for the Boston Herald, the conspirators having arranged to have one of the fastest senders in New York send the despatch and 'salt' the new man. I sat down unsuspiciously at the table, and the New York man started slowly. Soon he increased his speed, to which I easily adapted my pace.
But you are not going to say anything for some reason you are too frightened to say anything." "And all the wedding presents, the diamonds and the like?" Richford asked feebly. "The wedding presents will go back to the senders. There is a plain clothes policeman keeping guard over them now your diamonds are amongst the lot. I will see that they are safely sent to you.
