Henry Vandam, as you doubtless know, was much more deeply interested in the work of this medium than was his wife. Perhaps Mrs. Vandam was a bit jealous I don't know. But she, too, had an interest in spiritualism, though he was much more deeply influenced by Mrs. Popper than she. "Here's the strange part of it.
"I know very well, signor. I have the duplicate bill, the bill which was paid by that Farrington with a check from the banker Vandam. Leave it to me." "Then you will get the stuff together this morning and have it up to my place this afternoon." "Yes, Professor, yes. It is a bargain. I would do anything for Mrs. Popper she is a fine woman." Late that afternoon I rejoined Craig at his laboratory.
Vandam was governor of New York, the French took possession of Crown Point, which they fortified; and thus acquired the command of lake Champlain. Obviously as this measure was calculated to favour both the offensive and defensive operations of France in America, the English minister, after an unavailing remonstrance, submitted to it.
Immediately he bowed low and returned it to her finger, saying: "Permit me, mademoiselle, to present it to you in my turn so as to save you the embarrassment of asking for it." Mr. Vandam relates among other anecdotes about her that one evening she dined at the house of Comte Duchatel.
"Do you suppose for a moment that that toy is going to convince the world that Henry Vandam has been deceived and that the spirit which visited him was a fraud? Is that why you have lured me here under false pretences, to play on my feelings, to insult me, to take advantage of a lone, defenceless woman, surrounded by hostile men? Shame on you," she added contemptuously.
"Where'd he go?" "In there with some friends." "Ha, just like him; he's in trouble all right. He'll be no good for a week. Last time he came near losing all our stuff. Now let's see what ye've got." "Are you Mr. Peter Vandam?" "Of course I am." Still Rolf looked doubtful. There was a small group around, and Rolf heard several voices, "Yes, this is Peter; ye needn't a-worry."
As soon as you telephoned this morning I sent my men out separately to get them. There's the ink from the druggist, this is from the Vandam library, this is from Farrington's room, and this is from Mrs. Popper's apartment." "Thank you, Inspector. I don't know what I'd do without your help," said Kennedy, eagerly taking four small vials from him.
Vandam, I carried this little instrument with me." Almost lovingly he touched the pendulums on the table. They were now at rest and kept so by means of a lever that prevented all vibration whatever. "See, I release this lever now, let no one in the room move. Watch the needles on the paper as the clockwork revolves the drums. I take a step ever so lightly.
"Who was it that gave the prescription to Mrs. Vandam originally? She is dead and cannot tell. The others won't tell, for the person who gave her that prescription was the person who later substituted the fatal capsule in place of the harmless. The original prescription is here. I have been able to discover from it nothing at all by examining the handwriting.
Vandam took the fatal capsule, and then when she had taken it apprised the old man of the fact and strengthened an already blind faith in the shadow world." You could have heard a pin drop. In fact you could almost have felt it drop. "That other person who, unobserved, had free access to the house," he continued in the breathless stillness, "is in this room now."
