“But where are his relations employed, Mr. Wynn?” asked Mr. Roberts.
“Mr. McNab, his uncle, is cashier to the Chinese Tea Company, and his brother is with Morant & Hogsflesh.”
“Do you really believe these parties were confederates?”
“No doubt of it, sir.”
“In that case what would you advise?”
“In justice to yourself and the high reputation of your house, it is your duty to furnish them with the whole of our discovered facts. It is important they should be informed of their servants’ dishonesty.”
“By gad, Mr. Wynn, I’ll advise their punishment; and if their employers won’t do it, I will.”
“I am afraid that your advice will be too late.”
“How so, Cadwgan?”
“Both have already fled to the Continent. It appears that they, like McLiver, helped themselves to their employers’ money before they went.”
