Hes at present lyingon the floor of the Bliss
Museum with a badly fractured skull.
Spotswoode smiled at Heath with pitying
contempt.
He was a well-to-do Englishman, an amateur
anddilettante, and had made of Egyptology a sort of fad.
The basement, as was usual in such structures,was a

A slight smile flickered at the corner of Vancesmouth.
An acquaintance of his had discovered theslain body
of old Mr. Had a notion Id sneak out and not say Idbeen there. His weakness was for
hospitals and thoseunspeakable English portraits of the Gainsborough school. Every
one in the household, then, but Brush and Dingle?
Immediately he wheeled about and glared at
Vance,who now appeared in the doorway. And Salveters been with Bliss ever since?
