Sickness is unknown to them." The Inspector was silent for some time.

Then he rose to his feet.
"Prince," he said, "what should you declare, then, if I told you that a man of obvious Japanese extraction was seen to enter your house on the morning after the murder, and that he was a person to whom certain circumstances pointed as being concerned in that deed ?" "Mr.Inspector Jacks," the Prince said calmly, "I was the only person of my race who entered my house that morning." The Inspector moved toward the door.
"Your Highness," he said gravely, "I am exceedingly obliged to you for your courteous attention, and for your kindness after my unfortunate indisposition." The Prince smiled graciously.
"Mr.Inspector Jacks," he said, "your visit has been of great interest to me.

If I can be of any further assistance, pray do not hesitate to call upon me.".
