Garth looked at his watch. "He ought to be here now."
"What do you wish to see him about?" asked Fanks, eyeing his companion keenly; "anything about this case?"
Garth nodded. "Yes; young Vaud knew Emma Calvert, and I wish to learn if she is really dead."
"You can set your mind at rest on that point," said Fanks, coolly. "Emma Calvert is six feet below the soil of Pere la Chaise."
"But the woman who appeared at my cousin's chambers; the woman whom Robert said was she."
"That is Anne Colmer, the twin sister of the dead woman."
"Anne Colmer! She is engaged to Ted Hersham."
"She is. I have been down to Taxton-on-Thames, and I have found out all the family history."
"Have you found out who wrote on the back of the photograph; who directed that envelope?"
"No," said Fanks, gloomily, "I have not discovered anything yet about that."
