Other complaints had come in and the
detectives decided to see Mrs Duveen about
that recommendation. Mrs Duveen said
that the Marie Clark whom she had once

detectives learned that Marie Clark was
then employed by lady who lived at the
Hotel Langdon.

accompanied the detectives, met the real
Marie Clark, and. of course, she was moth

such costly service.
But they did run across some interesting
information. Marie Clark, looking over her

recommendation at that time? Miss Clark
was sure she hadn't. But she recalled tina.

during that time the recommendation might
