“I don’t know what to think now,” he said. “That call was from Charles W. Gordon.”
“Gordon?”
“A prominent and respectable lawyer here in Excelsior City. He requested me to come without delay to Room 47 and to bring you with me.”
“Why should Gordon wish to see us?”
“He said he was representing Herbert Rascomb and had important information to offer.”
“It sounds like a trap!” exclaimed Flash.
“I hardly agree. Gordon is a reputable lawyer.”
“How did he know we were here in the hotel and together?”
“I was wondering about that,” mused Captain Johns. “We’ll see him, but if Room 47 is the spider’s den, let us keep an eye open for entanglements.”
