CHAPTER THIRTY "Ton knew, of course," went on Meredith, "that your moat important problem was to hide the stolen neeidaea. Net only Scotland Yard, but the whole intelligence service would scour all England for IL** He paused, frowned, and continued, “Who first thought of that weird hiding place I don't know but, from its gnsly nature,l suspect Satsui.” The Countess listened stoically as Sir John pointed out that, "it was diabolically elever to think of hiding the object of so great interest to Lord Lanchester at the very gates of bis Weyland Hail. It must have taken weeks of preparation to explore the ground. Alas, during this process Ambrose Pennyfeather died”—Meredith paused significantly — "because he loved beech trees." “Let mo clarify that statement. A year or so ago Mr. Pennyfeathee had bought himself a site for his own grave in Weyland cemetery, and because he loved those big, magnificent trees, ho purchased a site beneath that huge beech tree which stands so close to the cemetery wall. No grave in that cemofery could be doser Io the wall at that particular point, and that one spot near the wall was ths only possible one for your plan. It was chosen by your associates because of its proximity to a house, Vine Cottage .which was to let. "Having determined on your place of concealment for the Bulungu necklace, the conspirators set about deliberately murdering a man towards whom you felt no animosity, simply and solely that his death might further your scheme. "The way in which you gained possession of the necklace is selfevident and the information was. of course, given by Norma Hailey, known in Faris as Nora Bailey. She cams of a decent English family bet, like quite a number of girls in Paris, went astray. She was not fool enough to spoil all her chances as her childish attempt at concealing her identity showed. Norma Hailey, when she was ‘rescued’ by the old Duchess of Stream, had reached the time where she began to worry about her future and, Him sc many vicious hysterics of her type, mvung round In revulsion against the lunatic excitements of her life, and desired nothing mors than the complete security of normal respectability. “You and your associates saw in thia an opportunity to get hoc what she wanted and, at the sama time, to put her in a position where she would be of future service to you. la other words, fee position as secretory to Lord Lanchsriw wee ‘wwsitsd.’ “Armed with vital Information from Norma Hailey, you were able to draw up a time-table io which you strictly adhered. The first item wee the murder cd Mr. Fennyfeather. From ywr point of view it was material that he should bo murdered, by which I moan that It should appear quite obviously to be murder. It had to be this way for had he apparently died of a sudden heart attack, for instance, there might not have been a post-mortem < xamfaation performed. So you had to iasgru that this would be done. Therefore, you bad him shot by your ApoeAe, who kfflod him with a .42 Browning automatic. “IJen came the impcnonaliea of Ms. Blaydeo-Steela and myself, the theft of the necklace, «d the hkndin» ovw of the necklace to a man was would Im ia a position to put it in ite prerioudy agreed place of concealment The little pared ooatausiag the Sulungu wa. uadertoher’s assistant, Meredith paused a moment aad

glanced momentarily at the still figure of the girl who eat watching him, her eyes fixed on his face. He frowned and took up hie tale again, i “After the autopsy, Huff concealed the necklace inside the body.” i Anne winced almost impereep tibly and Meredith dropped that morbid detail. “As to the seduction of the young officer, Philip Horton, that too had been carefully thought out in advance, probably by Satsui. It wee essential to have somebody capable of plotting and digging a tunnel from Vine Cottage to the grave in which the emerald necklace was concealed.** “When did you first suspect,” Anne asked, “that the secret lay in Weyland?" “Very shortly after my first interview with you, Madame.” She wrinkled her brows as she asked. “Did 1 betray myself in some way?" “No," he replied. "But we had detectives listening to all your , 'phone conversations." Anne arched her eyebrows with . the query, “So simple as that?" i Then she laughed softly. “We were 100 sure of ourselves. Sir John. So sure that... Well, that I couldn't ■ resist sending you the little piece i of verse which I made Raoul write for me." i Meredith nodded. “ ’Go down. Sir i John, go down,' etc. How does it go i on? ‘Seek ye fulfillmont of your jowollod quoit! Thon lond niton- * two ear to our bohoot and seek the knowledge toAicA but lioo in doath'. ; Like moot problems” he commented, “very simple when you know the answer. 1 must admit I had not the faintest idea what it meant. Os course, you realise, Madame, that I the killing of Huff was a tactical . error?" She moved restlessly at tha» and , said quickly, "It wouldn’t have been i only that brainleu epucke lost his r head." i Sir John nodded. “I think I ean ; toll you what happened," he said i quietly. “I should imagine that .

"I think that the interview be- , tween the two mea terminated when Toto realised that, if he was not quick, it would be Huff who knocked . him off instead of the other way round.

"And now, Madame," he said ■ slowly, “if you would be so good as ' to give me the necklace" ’ Anne stared at the floor for some , moments without moving and, when * she raised her face to took him in , the eyes, Meredith could see that * her iron control was breaking.
