"But if he's all bad inside?" She raised those deep, dark eyes as a child might. She had been for ten years like one in a convent. Covington shook his head. "I can't explain it," he said. "Perhaps, in a way, it's because of that because of the contrast. But I 've heard him do it. I 've heard him make a room full of those girls on Montmartre stop their dancing and gulp hard.

"The case itself is an unusual one," Covington replied. "The chances are a hundred to one that you find nothing, in which case you will have earned your fee easily.
