Latimer nodded. “I’ll come with you, Alan,” he said quickly. “Since Miss Grison is not in her house, it’s just possible she may be at Belstone.” “When did you call to see her?” “Yesterday afternoon,” explained Dick quietly. “I wished to learn how she knew that her precious brother had murdered a man outside Chin Chow’s opium den.” “Moon told her that, and she swore that Baldwin was incapable of such a wicked deed,” replied Alan with a shrug; “she seems to have a most touching belief in the creature, even though he is dead.” “Well, I learned that Miss Grison had gone away at noon for a few days.” “Where has she gone to?” asked Marie sharply. “Her servants could not tell me, since she has left no address. All she said was that she would be absent for a few days, and she left her establishment in charge of the head waiter.” “That secrecy shows that she is at Belstone,” cried Miss Inderwick triumphantly; “it is just the kind of underhand thing she would do.” “Well,” said Alan, settling the question, “she may suspect that Sorley is hiding in The Monastery and may wish to catch him. If she gets into the house, Dick and I can compel her to state her reason. But indeed, Marie, I don’t see how she could enter The Monastery without Henny or Jenny or Granny Trent seeing her.” “You don’t know what a curious house it is, Alan. There are ways of getting out and in and hiding and spying, which no one would believe. I know of some myself, but Miss Grison is better acquainted with the place than I, as Granny always said that she explored the house thoroughly when she was my mother’s companion. I’m sure you’ll catch her; and if you do, tell her that we have found the jewels. That will settle her.” “Nothing will settle her until Sorley is proved innocent or guilty,” said Fuller gravely. “The woman is obsessed by one idea, and that is revenge. I only wish we could find Jotty, for he knows a lot, I am sure, which could put things straight.” “Jotty can’t be found,” said Latimer lazily, “although Moon and his underlings are keeping their eyes open. He hasn’t gone back to Miss Grison’s or to Mother Slaig, either. He has vanished as completely as Mr. Sorley has. However, we shall see what can be done by our sleeping a night in your old family mansion, Miss Inderwick. I’ll come down.”
