"For God's sake!" he exclaimed. "I admit everything."
"Tell me," I stormed.
"She is in the room across there with the others."
"Come then;" and I twisted my fingers into his collar and hauled him toward the door. He hung back and squirmed like a reluctant puppy at the end of the leash.
As we reached it some one knocked sharply on the panels.
"Help! Help! I am being murdered," yelled von Felsen.
"Break in this door," cried a voice.
Keeping my grip on his collar I unlocked the door and threw it open.
Herr Borsen and a couple of strangers rushed in, and at the door of the room opposite stood two women with Althea behind them.
Borsen did not recognize me, and he and the other men were throwing themselves upon me to rescue von Felsen from my clutches when Althea broke past the women and called me by name.
