"But if that's any use to you " He smiled a broad smile and shook his head, much amused. "Oh, thank you," he said, half laughing, with a very curious air. "I'm a policeman, as I told you. But I don't need tips. I'm the Chief Constable of Quebec there's my card; Major Tascherel, and I'm glad to be of use, I'm sure, to any friend of Dr. Ivor's."
Then I owed my escape from the stenographic myrmidons of the Canadian Press to the polite care and attention of my father's murderer! Major Tascherel was a friend, he said, of Dr. Ivor's! Then Dr. Ivor knew I had come. He knew I was going to Palmyra to find him. And yet he had written to Quebec, apparently, expecting this crush, and asking his friend the Chief Constable to protect and befriend me.
I dared not go down to meet you at the quay myself; but the Chief Constable of Quebec, Major Tascherel, was an old friend and fellow-officer of my father's; and when I explained to him my fears that you might be mobbed by sightseers on your arrival at the harbour, and told him how afraid I was of the shock it might give you to meet an old friend unexpectedly at the steamer's side, he very kindly consented to go down and see you safe through the Custom House, It was so lucky I knew him.
