Concerns a Silent Secret

That same afternoon, while Charlie
Rolf was bidding farewell to his sister
Marion, Max Barclay was sitting in
the cosy study of one of the smaller
houses in Cromwell Road, smoking
cigarettes with a thin-faced, gray
haired, gray-bearded man whose cast
of features at once betrayed him to
be foreigner.
The well-furnished room was the
typical den of studious man, as It's
owner really was, for about it was
an air of solid comfort, while upon the
floor near where the elder man was
lying back in his leather easy chair
were scattered some newspapers with
