It is addressed to me, you will find." It was. It was signed "Enid Henson"; it went on to say that the sender was fearfully sorry for all the trouble she had caused, but that she had found Miss Lee's star with her jewels. Also she had telegraphed at once to the police at Moreton Wells to go no farther. "Looks like a mistake," the officer muttered. "But if we get that telegram "
"The same man who stole Prince Rupert's ring Reginald Henson." Littimer dropped his cigarette and sat upright in his chair. He was keen and alert enough now. There were traces of agitation on his face. "That is a serious accusation," he said. "Not more serious than your accusation against your son," Chris retorted. "Well, perhaps not," Littimer admitted.
She had come out of the mist and the shadows for a time at any rate. "Dr. Hatherly Bell to see you, aunt," Enid said, in a low tone. Margaret Henson shot up from the piano like a statue. There was no welcome on her face, no surprise there, nothing but deep, unutterable contempt and loathing. "I have been asleep," she said. She passed her hand dreamily over her face.
Rawlins laughed as he lighted a fresh cigarette. "I came to Moreton Wells knowing that Henson was at Littimer Castle," he explained. "I went there to borrow £200 from Henson. Unfortunately I found him in great need of money. Somebody who had promised him a large sum of money had disappointed him." Chris smiled.
I guessed that when Henson drew the fact from me that I liked the terrace after dinner. By a bit of good luck I found the accomplice and himself together in the day; in fact, I forced Reginald's hand so that he had to introduce me to the man." "In which case you would know him again?" "Of course. Presently I am going to show you a little more of the comedy.
This ain't a melodrama, you know." "Yes, I know; I didn't mean to get sore, but you know " "Well, now I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to make you head of the manufacturing department instead of getting in a new man, and shift Henson to purchasing. I'll put Jake on your old job, and expect you to give him a lift when he needs it.
His abstract argument is indeed perilous in regard to such composite writings as the Gospels and the Epistles. Let it be assumed, for argument's sake, that Christianity does somewhere assert the Equality of Men. Then it condemns Royalty as well as Slavery; yet Peter says, "Fear God and honor the King." I leave Mr. Henson to extricate himself from this dilemma.
It was much easier to ask the question than to answer it. But there were some facts sufficiently obvious to Chris. In the first place she knew that Reginald Henson was at the bottom of the whole thing; she knew that he had traded on the fact that she had taken a fancy to the terrace as an after-dinner lounge; indeed, she had told him so earlier in the day.
Ruth looked relieved. Her pretty features relaxed into a smile. "Then I fancy Reginald Henson has done so," she said. "I fancy I have solved the mystery of the cigar-case I mean, the mystery of the one I bought." "And which was changed for the one purchased at Walen's, hence these tears. But Lockharts say that our case was really purchased by an American." "Yes, I know.
"I could have sworn indeed, I am ready to swear that the real ring was never in anybody's possession but mine from the day that Frank was a year old till it disappeared. Of course, scores of people had looked at it, Henson amongst the rest. But how did Claire Carfax " "Easily enough. Henson had a first copy made from a description. I don't know why; probably we shall never know why.
