"One reverend doctor was not sufficient," he continued, "to look after the education of the prince, and so my Lord Bishop Hayter of Norwich was associated with Doctor Ayscough. Then the Old Harry was let loose. My Lord Bishop of Norwich was scheming to be made Archbishop of Canterbury, and Ayscough wanted to become Bishop of Bristol.
Levendale, who had listened to Ayscough with great and, as it seemed to Lauriston, with very watchful attention, pushed aside a letter he was writing, and looked from one to the other of his callers. "Where is my book?" he asked. "It's all right all safe, mister," said Melky. "It's locked up in a cupboard, in the parlour where it was found, and the key's in my pocket."
"I can't believe it; There may be marks inside our rings that's likely enough. But how could those marks correspond with the marks in his rings?" "I tell you it is so!" answered Ayscough. "I've seen the marks in both with my own eyes. It occurred to one of our bosses this evening to have all the rings carefully examined by an expert he got a man from one of the jeweller's shops in Edgware Road.
"You were in here yourself, before me," said Zillah. "Quite so but I never noticed anything," remarked Ayscough. "Neither have I," replied Zillah. "And don't you think that whoever seized that diamond would have the sense to snatch up anything connected with it! I believe in what Mr. Penniket said just now you find Levendale.
And somewhere, that cursed young Jap was fleeing away through the London streets having cheated him, Ayscough, at his own game! He had already reckoned things up in connection with Yada. Yada had been having him even as Melky Rubinstein had suspected and suggested all through that conversation at Gower Street.
And," concluded Goodyer, "I did wait up till half-past twelve but he never came. So this morning, of course, I walked round here and then I heard what happened about him being picked up dying and since being dead with fifty pounds in gold in his pocket. Of course, Mr. Ayscough, that was the money he referred to." "You haven't mentioned this to anybody?" asked Ayscough.
Just then the constable returned with several newspapers and handed them over to Ayscough, who immediately laid them on a desk and turned to the advertisements, while the others crowded round him. "In every one of 'em," exclaimed Ayscough, a moment later. "Word for word, in every morning newspaper in London! He must have sent that advertisement round to all the offices last night.
"Look here, my friend one of your people has told me of this affair at Molteno Lodge the discovery of the Chinaman's dead body." "That young fellow, Rubinstein, who called on you early this evening, and got me to accompany him discovered it," said Ayscough, who was wondering what the doctor was after. "I was with him."
Lauriston, walking back to his room after leaving Melky at the door of the eating-house, faced the situation in which an unfortunate combination of circumstances had placed him. Ayscough had been placable enough; the authorities at the police-station had heard his own version of things with attention but he was still conscious that he was under a certain amount of suspicion.
I should be sorry if this really is fixed on the young fellow there's a mystery, but it may be cleared up. Now, he's gone off to find somebody who can prove that those rings really were his mother's. You, no doubt, know where he's gone?" "Yes but I'm not going to tell," said Zillah firmly. "Don't ask me!" "Quite right I don't want to know myself," answered Ayscough.
