“Do you know under what name he was convicted in London?”
“I do not. I cannot recall it.”
“Was it a fictitious name?”
“Yes.”
“I will try to learn something definite about him,” said Nick. “I appreciate your confidence in me, too, and I will rigidly respect it. That is all I can say to you this evening about the case, but I will leave no stone unturned to bring it to a desirable termination, particularly in so far as you and Chester Clayton are concerned.”
Mrs. Clayton again thanked him feelingly, then remarked:
“I was somewhat surprised late this afternoon by a call from another man whom I saw in Mademoiselle Falloni’s suite this morning.”
“There was only one other man, except Chester,” said Nick. “You refer to Doctor Guelpa.”
“Yes.”
“He called here to see you?”
