The steadfast desire to get to Gravesend, to find his father, had given way, at any rate for the moment, to a burning anxiety about Tinkler and the white stone. Had his aunt found them and taken them away? If she hadn't and they were still there, would it not be wise to get them at once? Because of course some one else might take the house and find the treasures.
I suppose, sir, she didn't tell you anything likely to help us? 'No! I don't think the past can help the present, Mr Tinkler. But what is your candid opinion about this case? 'I think it is a mystery, Mr Cargrim, sir, and is likely to remain one. 'You don't anticipate that the murderer will be found? 'No! replied Mr Inspector, gruffly. 'I don't.
"Tinkler," said Horace, on the spur of the moment. "Miss Clementine Tinkler." "But surely she is a foreigner?" "Mademoiselle, I ought to have said. And Tinkla with an 'a, you know. I believe her mother was of Arabian extraction but I really don't know," explained Horace, conscious that Sylvia had withdrawn her hand from his, and was regarding him with covert anxiety.
Tinkler; and there followed a season of bustle and conversation, which lasted until the Doctor touched a small hand-bell, and ordered them to sit down round the tables while supper was brought in. Mr. Bultitude was not sorry to hear the word "supper."
Tinkler and the white seal lay on the floor among white moonflower seeds confusedly scattered, and the gas lamp from the street shone through the dirty panes on the newspapers and sacking. "What a dream!" said Dickie, shivering, and very sleepy. "Oh, what a dream!"
All the time Paul was racked with an intense burning desire to get up and run for it then, before it became too late; but cold fits of doubt and fear preserved him from such lunacy he would wait, his chance might come before long. His patience was rewarded; the Doctor came in, looking at his watch, and said, "I think these boys have had enough of it, Mr. Tinkler, eh?
She was ane o' the warst agin me at first, but she telt me i' the buryin' ground 'at when a man mairit he should please 'imsel. Oh, they're comin' round." What Kitty told Jess was "I minded o' the tinkler wuman 'at he gae a shillin' to, so I thocht I would butter up at the auld fule too.
Dickie left the shop without his moonflowers, indeed, but with his Tinkler now whitely shining, and declared to be "real silver, and mind you take care of it, my lad," his white cornelian seal carefully packed in a strong little cardboard box with metal corners. Also a broken-backed copy of "Ingoldsby Legends" and one of "Mrs. Markham's English History," which had no back at all.
She heard nothing till the bell discreetly tinkled. Justifiably assuming that the tinkler was the butcher's boy, she went to the door with her apron on, and even with the duster in her hand. A handsome, smooth man stood on the step, and the electric carriage made a background for him. He was a dark man, with curly black hair, and a moustache to match, and black eyes.
The name acted like a douche of iced water on the inspector, and he sharply ordered the visitor to be admitted at once. In another minute Baltic was in the office, saluting the head of the Beorminster police in his usual grave style. 'Ha, Mr Baltic, sir! rasped out Tinkler, in his parade voice, 'I am glad to see you. There is a seat, and here am I; both at your service.
