The same day Henson's tool, Van Sneck, purchased a similar case from Walen's a case really procured for your approval and later on in the day the case passed from Van Sneck to Henson, who dexterously changed the cases." "Complex," Rawlins muttered. "But I begin to see what is coming." "The cases were changed, and the one from Walen's in due course became Mr. Steel's.
I have admitted to you that I knew when Henson was coming, and why am I interested? Because it happens that Reginald Henson has greatly injured someone I cared for deeply. Well, I fastened up the picture he came. He sneaked in like the thief that he was because his accomplice and tool had failed to save him the trouble. Lord Littimer, I will not pain you by saying who Henson's accomplice was."
"Help!" he gurgled. "Help! help! help!" The worrying teeth had been firmly fixed, the ponderous weight pressed all the breath from Henson's distressed lungs. He gurgled once again, gave a little shuddering sigh, and the world dwindled to a thick sheet of blinding darkness. Bell's professional enthusiasm got the better of his curiosity for the moment. It was a nice psychological problem.
Henson's scheme, and of Sir George Cayley's, to the interruption of surface in the independent vanes. He made the first public experiment at Willis's Rooms, but afterward removed his model to the Adelaide Gallery. "Like Sir George Cayley's balloon, his own was an ellipsoid. Its length was thirteen feet six inches height, six feet eight inches.
I need not go into details, because it is a family secret, and does not concern our conversation at all. At that time the real ring came into Henson's possession, and he wanted a copy to hold over the head of an unfortunate lady whom he would have ruined before long. You told me just now that Van Sneck had fallen in love with Prince Rupert's ring and could hardly bear to part with it. He didn't."
We shall have to tie 'em up in future." Williams darted into the thicket. Then he came full upon Henson, lying on his back, with his white, unconscious face and staring eyes turned to the sky, and two great dogs fussing uneasily about him. A big pup close by had a large swelling on his head. By Henson's side lay the ash stick he had picked up when pursued by Merritt.
A sudden light of rage lit up Henson's blue eyes. He caught Enid almost roughly by the shoulders and pushed her into the drawing-room. There was something coming, she knew. It was a relief a minute or two later to hear Williams's whistle as he crossed the courtyard. Henson knew nothing of Van Sneck's presence, nor was he likely to do so now. "You are forgetting yourself," Enid said.
It is quite easy to see that you are the greater scoundrel of the two." "My dear young lady, do you actually take me for a burglar?" There was a note of deep pain in Henson's voice. He had dropped into a chair again, with a feeling of utter weakness upon him. The girl's resolute mien and the familiar way in which she handled her revolver filled him with the deepest apprehension.
He declined to worry over the matter until Henson's return. It was not for him to know, yet, that Chris had actually gone over to Moreton Wells, and, during the absence of Merritt's landlady, calmly walked into the house and taken the picture away. "You are going to see some fun presently," she said, coolly, to the astonished Littimer, as she laid the missing picture before him.
It was all some deep game of Henson's, only you may be pretty sure he didn't tell me what the game was. I got my money and returned to London, and till pretty recently I saw no more of Henson." "But you came into the game again," said Littimer. "Quite lately, your lordship. I went down to Brighton.
