(Anne’s Narrative1 Resumed)
I had great trouble with Suzanne. She argued, she pleaded, she even weptbefore she would let me carry out my plan. But in the end I got my ownway. She promised to carry out my instructions to the letter and camedown to the station to bid me a tearful farewell.
I arrived at my destination the following morning early. I was met by ashort black-bearded Dutchman whom I had never seen before. He had acar waiting and we drove off. There was a queer booming in the distance,and I asked him what it was. “Guns,” he answered laconically2. So therewas fighting going on in Jo’burg!
I gathered that our objective was a spot somewhere in the suburbs ofthe city. We turned and twisted and made several detours3 to get there, andevery minute the guns were nearer. It was an exciting time. At last westopped before a somewhat ramshackle building. The door was opened bya Kafir boy. My guide signed to me to enter. I stood irresolute4 in the dingysquare hall. The man passed me and threw open a door.
“The young lady to see Mr. Harry5 Rayburn,” he said, and laughed.
Thus announced, I passed in. The room was sparsely6 furnished andsmelt of cheap tobacco smoke. Behind a desk a man sat writing. He lookedup and raised his eyebrows7.
“Dear me,” he said, “if it isn’t Miss Beddingfeld!”
“I must be seeing double,” I apologized. “Is it Mr. Chichester, or is it MissPettigrew? There is an extraordinary resemblance to both of them.”
“Both characters are in abeyance8 for the moment. I have doffed9 my pet-ticoats—and my cloth likewise. Won’t you sit down?”
I accepted a seat composedly.
“It would seem,” I remarked, “that I have come to the wrong address.”
“From your point of view, I am afraid you have. Really, Miss Bedding-feld, to fall into the trap a second time!”
“It was not very bright of me,” I admitted meekly10.
Something about my manner seemed to puzzle him.
“You hardly seem upset by the occurrence,” he remarked dryly.
“Would my going into heroics have any effect upon you?” I asked.
“It certainly would not.”
“My Great-aunt Jane always used to say that a true lady was neithershocked nor surprised at anything that might happen,” I murmureddreamily. “I endeavour to live up to her precepts11.”
I read Mr. Chichester-Pettigrew’s opinion so plainly written on his facethat I hastened into speech once more.
“You really are positively12 marvellous at makeup,” I said generously. “Allthe time you were Miss Pettigrew I never recognized you—even when youbroke your pencil in the shock of seeing me climb upon the train at CapeTown.”
He tapped upon the desk with the pencil he was holding in his hand atthe minute.
“All this is very well in its way, but we must get to business. Perhaps,Miss Beddingfeld, you can guess why we required your presence here?”
“You will excuse me,” I said, “but I never do business with anyone butprincipals.”
I had read the phrase or something like it in a moneylender’s circular,and I was rather pleased with it. It certainly had a devastating13 effect uponMr. Chichester-Pettigrew. He opened his mouth and then shut it again. Ibeamed upon him.
“My Great-uncle George’s maxim14,” I added, as an afterthought. “Great-aunt Jane’s husband, you know. He made knobs for brass15 beds.”
I doubt if Chichester-Pettigrew had ever been ragged16 before. He didn’tlike it at all.
“I think you would be wise to alter your tone, young lady.”
I did not reply, but yawned—a delicate little yawn that hinted at intenseboredom.
“What the devil—” he began forcibly.
I interrupted him.
“I can assure you it’s no good shouting at me. We are only wasting timehere. I have no intention of talking with underlings. You will save a lot oftime and annoyance17 by taking me straight to Sir Eustace Pedler.”
“To—”
He looked dumbfounded.
“Yes,” I said. “Sir Eustace Pedler.”
“I—I—excuse me—”
He bolted from the room like a rabbit. I took advantage of the respite18 toopen my bag and powder my nose thoroughly19. Also I settled my hat at amore becoming angle. Then I settled myself to wait with patience for myenemy’s return.
He reappeared in a subtly chastened mood.
“Will you come this way, Miss Beddingfeld?”
I followed him up the stairs. He knocked at the door of a room, a brisk“Come in” sounded from inside, and he opened the door and motioned tome to pass inside.
Sir Eustace Pedler sprang up to greet me, genial20 and smiling.
“Well, well, Miss Anne.” He shook me warmly by the hand. “I’m de-lighted to see you. Come and sit down. Not tired after your journey? That’sgood.”
He sat down facing me, still beaming. It left me rather at a loss. His man-ner was so completely natural.
“Quite right to insist on being brought straight to me,” he went on.
“Minks21 is a fool. A clever actor—but a fool. That was Minks you saw down-stairs.”
“Oh, really,” I said feebly.
“And now,” said Sir Eustace cheerfully, “let’s get down to facts. How longhave you known that I was the ‘Colonel?’ ”
“Ever since Mr. Pagett told me that he had seen you in Marlow whenyou were supposed to be in Cannes.”
Sir Eustace nodded ruefully.
“Yes, I told the fool he’d blinking well torn it. He didn’t understand, ofcourse. His whole mind was set on whether I’d recognized him. It neveroccurred to him to wonder what I was doing down there. A piece of sheerbad luck that was. I arranged it all so carefully too, sending him off toFlorence, telling the hotel I was going over to Nice for one night or pos-sibly two. Then, by the time the murder was discovered, I was back againin Cannes, with nobody dreaming that I’d ever left the Riviera.”
He still spoke22 quite naturally and unaffectedly. I had to pinch myself tounderstand that this was all real—that the man in front of me was reallythat deep-dyed criminal, the “Colonel.” I followed things out in my mind.
“Then it was you who tried to throw me overboard on the Kilmorden,” Isaid slowly. “It was you that Pagett followed up on deck that night?”
He shrugged23 his shoulders.
“I apologize, my dear child, I really do. I always liked you—but you wereso confoundedly interfering24. I couldn’t have all my plans brought tonaught by a chit of a girl.”
“I think your plan at the Falls was really the cleverest,” I said, endeav-ouring to look at the thing in a detached fashion. “I would have beenready to swear anywhere that you were in the hotel when I went out. See-ing is believing in future.”
“Yes, Minks had one of his greatest successes, as Miss Pettigrew, and hecan imitate my voice quite creditably.”
“There is one thing I should like to know.”
“Yes?”
“How did you induce Pagett to engage her?”
“Oh, that was quite simple. She met Pagett in the doorway25 of the TradeCommissioner’s office or the Chamber26 of Mines, or wherever it was hewent—told him I had phoned down in a hurry, and that she had been se-lected by the Government department in question. Pagett swallowed itlike a lamb.”
“You’re very frank,” I said, studying him.
“There’s no earthly reason why I shouldn’t be.”
I didn’t like the sound of that. I hastened to put my own interpretationon it.
“You believe in the success of this Revolution? You’ve burnt your boats.”
“For an otherwise intelligent young woman, that’s a singularly unintelli-gent remark. No, my dear child, I do not believe in this Revolution. I give ita couple of days longer and it will fizzle out ignominiously27.”
“Not one of your successes, in fact?” I said nastily.
“Like all women, you’ve no idea of business. The job I took on was tosupply certain explosives and arms—heavily paid for—to foment28 feelinggenerally, and to incriminate certain people up to the hilt. I’ve carried outmy contract with complete success, and I was careful to be paid in ad-vance. I took special care over the whole thing, as I intended it be my lastcontract before retiring from business. As for burning my boats, as youcall it, I simply don’t know what you mean. I’m not the rebel chief, or any-thing of that kind—I’m a distinguished29 English visitor, who had the mis-fortune to go nosing into a certain curioshop—and saw a little more thanhe was meant to, and so the poor fellow was kidnapped. Tomorrow, or theday after, when circumstances permit, I shall be found tied up some-where, in a pitiable state of terror and starvation.”
“Ah!” I said slowly. “But what about me?”
“That’s just it,” said Sir Eustace softly. “What about you? I’ve got youhere—I don’t want to rub it in in any way—but I’ve got you here veryneatly. The question is, what am I going to do with you? The simplest wayof disposing of you—and, I may add, the pleasantest to myself—is the wayof marriage. Wives can’t accuse their husbands, you know, and I’d ratherlike a pretty young wife to hold my hand and glance at me out of liquideyes—don’t flash them at me so! You quite frighten me. I see that the plandoes not commend itself to you?”
“It does not.”
Sir Eustace sighed.
“A pity! But I am no Adelphi villain31. The usual trouble, I suppose. Youlove another, as the books say.”
“I love another.”
“I thought as much—first I thought it was that long-legged, pompous32 ass,Race, but I suppose it’s the young hero who fished you out of the Falls thatnight. Women have no taste. Neither of those two have half the brains thatI have. I’m such an easy person to underestimate.”
I think he was right about that. Although I knew well enough the kind ofman he was and must be, I could not bring myself to realize it. He hadtried to kill me on more than one occasion, he had actually killed anotherwoman, and he was responsible for endless other deeds of which I knewnothing, and yet I was quite unable to bring myself into the frame of mindfor appreciating his deeds as they deserved. I could not think of him asother than our amusing, genial, travelling companion. I could not evenfeel frightened of him — and yet I knew he was capable of having memurdered in cold blood if it struck him as necessary. The only parallel Ican think of is the case of Stevenson’s Long John Silver. He must havebeen much the same kind of man.
“Well, well,” said this extraordinary person, leaning back in his chair.
“It’s a pity that the idea of being Lady Pedler doesn’t appeal to you. Theother alternatives are rather crude.”
I felt a nasty feeling going up and down my spine33. Of course I hadknown all along that I was taking a big risk, but the prize had seemedworth it. Would things turn out as I had calculated, or would they not?
“The fact of the matter is,” Sir Eustace was continuing, “I’ve a weaknessfor you. I really don’t want to proceed to extremes. Suppose you tell methe whole story, from the very beginning, and let’s see what we can makeof it. But no romancing, mind—I want the truth.”
I was not going to make any mistake over that. I had a great deal of re-spect for Sir Eustace’s shrewdness. It was a moment for the truth, thewhole truth, and nothing but the truth. I told him the whole story, omit-ting nothing, up to the moment of my rescue by Harry. When I had fin-ished, he nodded his head in approval.
“Wise girl. You’ve made a clean breast of the thing. And let me tell you Ishould soon have caught you out if you hadn’t. A lot of people wouldn’t be-lieve your story, anyway, expecially the beginning part, but I do. You’rethe kind of girl who would start off like that—at a moment’s notice, on theslenderest of motives34. You’ve had amazing luck, of course, but sooner orlater the amateur runs up against the professional and then the result is aforegone conclusion. I am the professional. I started on this business whenI was quite a youngster. All things considered, it seemed to me a good wayof getting rich quickly. I always could think things out and devise ingeni-ous schemes—and I never made the mistake of trying to carry out myschemes myself. Always employ the expert—that has been my motto. Theone time I departed from it I came to grief—but I couldn’t trust anyone todo that job for me. Nadina knew too much. I’m an easygoing man, kind-hearted and good- tempered so long as I’m not thwarted35. Nadina boththwarted me and threatened me—just as I was at the apex36 of a successfulcareer. Once she was dead and the diamonds were in my possession, I wassafe. I’ve come to the conclusion now that I bungled37 the job. That idiot Pa-gett, with his wife and family! My fault—it tickled38 my sense of humour toemploy the fellow, with his Cinquecento poisoner’s face and his mid-Vic-torian soul. A maxim for you, my dear Anne. Don’t let your sense of hu-mour carry you away. For years I’ve had an instinct that it would be wiseto get rid of Pagett, but the fellow was so hardworking and conscientiousthat I honestly couldn’t find an excuse for sacking him. So I let things drift.
“But we’re wandering from the point. The question is what to do withyou. Your narrative was admirably clear, but there is one thing that stillescapes me. Where are the diamonds now?”
“Harry Rayburn has them,” I said, watching him.
His face did not change, it retained its expression of sardonic39 good hu-mour.
“H’m. I want those diamonds.”
“I don’t see much chance of your getting them,” I replied.
“Don’t you? Now I do. I don’t want to be unpleasant, but I should likeyou to reflect that a dead girl or so found in this quarter of the city will oc-casion no surprise. There’s a man downstairs who does those sort of jobsvery neatly30. Now, you’re a sensible young woman. What I propose is this:
you will sit down and write to Harry Rayburn, telling him to join you hereand bring the diamonds with him—”
“I won’t do anything of the kind.”
“Don’t interrupt your elders. I propose to make a bargain with you. Thediamonds in exchange for your life. And don’t make any mistake about it,your life is absolutely in my power.”
“And Harry?”
“I’m far too tenderhearted to part two young lovers. He shall go free too—on the understanding, of course, that neither of you interfere40 with me inthe future.”
“And what guarantee have I that you will keep your side of the bar-gain?”
“None whatever, my dear girl. You’ll have to trust me and hope for thebest. Of course, if you’re in an heroic mood and prefer annihilation, that’sanother matter.”
This was what I had been playing for. I was careful not to jump at thebait. Gradually I allowed myself to be bullied41 and cajoled into yielding. Iwrote at Sir Eustace’s dictation:
“Dear Harry,
I think I see a chance of establishing your innocencebeyond any possible doubt. Please follow my instruc-tions minutely. Go to Agrasato’s curioshop. Ask to seesomething ‘out of the ordinary,’ ‘for a special occasion.’
The man will then ask you to ‘come into the back room.’
Go with him. You will find a messenger who will bringyou to me. Do exactly as he tells you. Be sure and bringthe diamonds with you. Not a word to anyone.”
Sir Eustace stopped.
“I leave the fancy touches to your own imagination,” he remarked. “Butbe careful to make no mistakes.”
“ ‘Yours for ever and ever, Anne,’ will be sufficient,” I remarked.
I wrote in the words. Sir Eustace stretched out his hand for the letterand read it through.
“That seems all right. Now the address.”
I gave it him. It was that of a small shop which received letters and tele-grams for a consideration.
He struck the bell upon the table with his hand. Chichester-Pettigrew,alias Minks, answered the summons.
“This letter is to go immediately—the usual route.”
“Very well, Colonel.”
He looked at the name on the envelope. Sir Eustace was watching himkeenly.
“A friend of yours, I think?”
“Of mine?” The man seemed startled.
“You had a prolonged conversation with him in Johannesburg yester-day.”
“A man came up and questioned me about your movements and thoseof Colonel Race. I gave him misleading information.”
“Excellent, my dear fellow, excellent,” said Sir Eustace genially42. “My mis-take.”
I chanced to look at Chichester-Pettigrew as he left the room. He waswhite to the lips, as though in deadly terror. No sooner was he outside,than Sir Eustace picked up a speaking tube that rested by his elbow, andspoke down it. “That you, Schwart? Watch Minks. He’s not to leave thehouse without orders.”
He put the speaking tube down again, and frowned, slightly tapping thetable with his hand.
“May I ask you a few questions, Sir Eustace,” I said, after a minute ortwo of silence.
“Certainly. What excellent nerves you have, Anne! You are capable oftaking an intelligent interest in things when most girls would be snifflingand wringing43 their hands.”
“Why did you take Harry as your secretary instead of giving him up tothe police?”
“I wanted those cursed diamonds. Nadina, the little devil, was playingoff your Harry against me. Unless I gave her the price she wanted, shethreatened to sell them back to him. That was another mistake I made—Ithought she’d have them with her that day. But she was too clever for that.
Carton, her husband, was dead too—I’d no clue whatsoever44 as to wherethe diamonds were hidden. Then I managed to get a copy of a wirelessmessage sent to Nadina by someone on board the Kilmorden—either Car-ton or Rayburn, I didn’t know which. It was a duplicate of that piece of pa-per you picked up. ‘Seventeen one twenty two,’ it ran. I took it to be an ap-pointment with Rayburn, and when he was so desperate to get aboard theKilmorden I was convinced that I was right. So I pretended to swallow hisstatements, and let him come. I kept a pretty sharp watch upon him andhoped that I should learn more. Then I found Minks trying to play a lonehand, and interfering with me. I soon stopped that. He came to heel allright. It was annoying not getting Cabin 17, and it worried me not beingable to place you. Were you the innocent young girl you seemed, or wereyou not? When Rayburn set out to keep the appointment that night, Minkswas told off to intercept46 him. Minks muffed it, of course.”
“But why did the wireless45 message say ‘seventeen’ instead of ‘seventy-one?’ ”
“I’ve thought that out. Carton must have given that wireless operator hisown memorandum47 to copy off on to a form, and he never read the copythrough. The operator made the same mistake we all did, and read it as17.1.22 instead of 1.71.22. The thing I don’t know is how Minks got on toCabin 17. It must have been sheer instinct.”
“And the dispatch to General Smuts? Who tampered48 with that?”
“My dear Anne, you don’t suppose I was going to have a lot of my plansgiven away, without making an effort to save them? With an escaped mur-derer as a secretary, I had no hesitation49 whatever in substituting blanks.
Nobody would think of suspecting poor old Pedler.”
“What about Colonel Race?”
“Yes, that was a nasty jar. When Pagett told me he was a Secret Servicefellow, I had an unpleasant feeling down the spine. I remembered thathe’d been nosing around Nadina in Paris during the War—and I had ahorrible suspicion that he was out after me! I don’t like the way he’s stuckto me ever since. He’s one of those strong, silent men who have always gotsomething up their sleeve.”
A whistle sounded. Sir Eustace picked up the tube, listened for a minuteor two, then answered:
“Very well, I’ll see him now.”
“Business,” he remarked. “Miss Anne, let me show you your room.”
He ushered50 me into a small shabby apartment, a Kafir boy brought upmy small suitcase, and Sir Eustace, urging me to ask for anything Iwanted, withdrew, the picture of a courteous51 host. A can of hot water wason the washstand, and I proceeded to unpack52 a few necessaries. Some-thing hard and unfamiliar53 in my spongebag puzzled me greatly. I untiedthe string and looked inside.
To my utter amazement54 I drew out a small pearl-handled revolver. Ithadn’t been there when I started from Kimberley. I examined the thinggingerly. It appeared to be loaded.
I handled it with a comfortable feeling. It was a useful thing to have in ahouse such as this. But modern clothes are quite unsuited to the carryingof firearms. In the end I pushed it gingerly into the top of my stocking. Itmade a terrible bulge55, and I expected every minute that it would go offand shoot me in the leg, but it really seemed the only place.
