"The Pearl—where is it?" demanded Lord Illingworth.
The Hindoo did not reply.
Lord Illingworth pointed to the empty socket, and repeated the question, but the Hindoo merely shook his head.
"Search him," said Lord Illingworth.
He was searched, but, of course, nothing was found.
Lord Illingworth stood over him.
"Where is the Pearl?" he thundered, but again the Hindoo shook his head.
"Bring in the other man," said Lord Illingworth.
The Baboo entered, limp and crestfallen, in charge of two stablemen. A boy carried a silk hat and some winter clothing.
