 CHAPTER XV

In Matthewson's Chambers

Charles Matthewson read with impatience the name on the card just brought him—Isaac Trafford. It was a breach of the understanding between them, that this man should trouble him further. He was on the point of refusing to see him, when he recalled Trafford's possession of the papers taken from Theodore Wing's desk after his murder. This he had not known at the time of their previous interview. It was possible that here was the opening of negotiations for their sale. He ordered him admitted. Still he could not avoid resenting the intrusion.

"I understood you were not to trouble me further."

"Until I became satisfied that your visit to Millbank had something to do with Wing's murder," the detective answered.
