So you got my card?” said Tony.
Yes. What do you know about Mrs. Middleton?” demanded Rudolph.
That she possesses the estate which ought to be mine. That’s about it, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” said Rudolph; “but you can’t get it without me.”
“Why not?”
“I was the man that was hired to abduct you when you was a boy.”
“Can you prove that?” asked Spencer.
I can.”
“Will your story be believed?”
“Yes. The tenantry will remember me. I was one of them at the time.”
