The Rayner-Slade Amalgamation

CHAPTER XII
8/18

You'll all three certainly be wanted at that adjourned inquest at Hull.

Now, that's all--except that when you, Miss Lennard, return home, you must at once begin searching for the references you had with your maid--let me have them as soon as they're found--and that you, Mr.Fullaway, must bring the Princess Nastirsevitch here as soon as you can after her arrival." Outside New Scotland Yard Celia Lennard relieved her feelings with a fervent exclamation.
"I wish I'd never spent a penny on pearls or diamonds in my life!" she said vehemently.

"Insane folly! What good have they done?
Leading to all this bother, and to murder.

What fools women are! All that money thrown away!--for of course I shall never see a sign of them again!" "That's a rather hopeless way of looking at it," observed Fullaway.
"You've got the cleverest police in Europe on the search for them; also you've got our friend Allerdyke and myself on the run, and we're neither of us exactly brainless.

So hasten home in this taxi-cab, get some lunch, have an hour's nap, and then begin putting your papers straight and looking for those references.
