In the morning I was awakened by an impatient knocking at my bedroom door. Going to bed at two or three I was naturally a late riser, and this was about nine. I scrambled sleepily out of bed, and turned the key. Hewitt was standing in my sitting-room, with a newspaper in his hand.
“Sorry to break your morning sleep, Brett,” he said, “but something interesting has happened in regard to that business you helped me with yesterday, and you may like to know. Crawl back into bed if you like.”
But I was already in my dressing-gown, and groping for my clothes. “No, no, come in and tell me,” I said. “What is it?”
Hewitt sat on the bed. “I’ll tell you in due order,” he said. “First, I saw Samuel again last night — after you had gone away. You remember I went back to my office; I had a letter or two to write which I had set aside in the afternoon. Well, I wrote the letters, shut up, and went downstairs. I opened the outer door, and there was Samuel, in the act of ringing the housekeeper’s bell. He said he was very anxious, and couldn’t sleep without coming to hear if I had made any progress; he had called before, but I was out. I half thought of taking him back to my office, but decided that it wasn’t worth while. So I walked along to the corner of the Strand, till I got him well under the lights. Then I stopped and talked to him. ‘You ask about the progress in your case, Mr. Samuel,’ I said. ‘Now, I have sometimes met people who seem to consider me a sort of prophet, seer, or diviner. As a matter of fact, I am nothing but a professional investigator, and even if I were possessed of such an amazing genius as I lay no claim to, I could never succeed in a case, nor even make progress in it, if my client started me with false information, or only told me half the truth. More, when I find that such is the state of affairs, and that if I am to succeed I must begin by investigating my client before I proceed with his case, I throw that case up on the instant — invariably. Do you understand that? Now I must tell you that I have made no progress with your case, none; for that very reason.’”
“He protested, of course — vowed he had told me the simple truth, and so forth. I replied by asking him certain definite questions. First, I asked him whose the diamonds were. He repeated that they were his own. To that I simply replied, ‘Good evening, Mr. Samuel,’ and turned away. He came after me beseechingly, and prevaricated. He said something about another party having an interest, but the matter being confidential. To that I responded by asking him with whom he had communicated before sending for me, and who was the person in the brougham which he had twice entered. That flabbergasted him. He said that he couldn’t answer those questions without bringing other parties into the matter, to which
