Have important client now in town until middle May who seems to be best man to approach and is likely to be a generous buyer.
"FRANKLIN FULLAWAY, Waldorf Hotel, London." Here was another surprise: Allerdyke had never in his life heard James mention the name--Franklin Fullaway.

Yet here Mr.Franklin Fullaway, whoever he might be, was wiring to James as only a business acquaintance of some standing would wire.

And here again was the mention of a Princess--presumably, nay, evidently, the Princess to whom reference was made in the diary.

And there was mention, too, of goods--probably valuable goods--to be confided to James's care for conveyance to England, to London, for sale to some prospective purchaser.

If James had brought them, where were they?
So far as Allerdyke had ascertained, James had no luggage beyond his big suitcase and the handbag which now stood on the table before his own eyes--he was a man for travelling light, James, and never encumbered himself with more than indispensable necessities.
