"Duson made harmless reports to us as we desired them," the detective said. "I have an idea, however, that if this course had at any time been inimical to your interests that Duson would have deceived us." "I am convinced of it," Mr. Sabin declared. "And Duson is dead!" Mr. Sabin nodded gravely. The little hard-visaged man looked steadily for a moment upon the carpet.
"The Duchess was better known here, but some of them may have recognised her." "She had no luggage, I presume?" Mr. Sabin asked. "Her dressing-case and jewel-case only, sir." "So you see," Mr. Sabin continued, "it is probable that she did not remain at the Waldorf for the night. Base your inquiries on that supposition." "Very good, sir." "From your manners and speech," Mr.
All the time he was studying his host, wondering at his air of only partially suppressed excitement. "I must thank you very much, Mr. Brott," he said, "for your entertainment. I trust that you will give me an opportunity shortly of reciprocating your hospitality." The two men parted finally in the hall. Mr. Sabin stepped into his hired carriage. "Dorset House!" he directed.
Brott said, glancing at his watch and suddenly rising. "Dear me, how the time goes." He rose to his feet. Mr. Sabin also rose. "Must I understand," he said in a low tone, "that you are not at liberty to give me Mrs. Peterson's address?" "I am not at liberty even," Mr. Brott answered, with a frown, "to mention her name. It will give me great pleasure, Duke, to better my acquaintance with you.
Sabin said quietly, "whether the Countess appears to receive your suit with favour?" Mr. Brott hesitated. "I am afraid I cannot go so far as to say that she does," he said regretfully. "I do not know why I find myself talking on this matter to you. I feel that I should apologise for giving such a personal turn to the conversation." "I beg that you will do nothing of the sort," Mr. Sabin protested.
She was here but a few minutes since." "Dark and tall!" Mr. Sabin repeated to himself thoughtfully. "Emil, you are telling me the truth?" "I do not dare to tell you anything else, monsieur," the man answered. Mr. Sabin did not continue his interrogations for a few moments. Suddenly he looked up. "Has that lady left the place yet, Emil?" "No, monsieur!" Mr. Sabin smiled.

To take supper with a duke was a novelty to him, but he was not shy. He sat down and tucked his serviette into his waistcoat, raised his glass, and suddenly set it down again. "The boss!" he exclaimed in amazement. Mr. Sabin turned his head in the direction which his companion had indicated.
There the case is absolutely clear. Maurice got his information from you." "A gratuitous statement, sir! which you cannot prove." "From you" repeated Meynell. "And from certain spying operations that he and East undertook together. Do you deny that you told Maurice all that Judith Sabin told you together with her identification of myself?" The room seemed to wait for Barron's reply. He made none.
I ask you, will you believe in this statement of my attitude towards you?" "I do not for a single moment doubt it," Mr. Sabin answered. "You will regard the advice which I am going to offer as disinterested?" "Certainly!" "Then I offer it to you earnestly, and with my whole heart. Take the next steamer and go back to America." "And leave Lucille? Go without making any effort to see her?" "Yes."
