‘Cheviot’s’ was closed the next day.

A week later a letter bearing the post-mark of Rapallo was delivered at Malison Hall.

Its contents consisted of a document and three hundred and fifteen pounds in Bank of England notes.

The document appeared to be a bill which the notes were paying.

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.

Mrs. Titus Cheviot.
