“You must find that woman and produce her at the inquest,” said the doctor.  “I take it that Mr. Fullaway’s idea is a correct one.  Your cousin probably did invite Miss Lennard into his room to show her these jewels—­that, of course, would prove that he had them in his possession at some certain hour last night.  Now, about that inquest.  It is fixed for ten o’clock to-morrow morning.  Let me advise you as to your own course of procedure, having an eye on what you have told me.  Your object should be to make the proceedings to-morrow merely formal, so that the Coroner can issue his order for interment, and then adjourn for further evidence.  It will be sufficient if you give evidence identifying the body, if evidence is given of the autopsy, and an adjournment asked for until a further examination of the reserved organs and viscera can be made.  For the present, I should keep back the matter of the supposed robbery until you can find this Miss Lennard.  At the adjourned inquest—­say in a week or ten days hence—­everything pertinent can be brought out.  But you will need legal help—­I am rather trespassing on legal preserves in telling you so much.”

“Deeply obliged to you, doctor—­and you can add to our obigations by giving us the name of a good man to go to,” said Allerdyke.  “We’ll see him at once and fix things up for to-morrow morning.”

Dr. Orwin wrote down the name and address of a well-known solicitor, and presently went away.  When he had gone, Allerdyke turned to Fullaway.

“Now, then,” he said, “you and I’ll do one or two things.  We’ll call on this lawyer.  Then we’ll cable to the Princess.  But how shall we get her address!”

“There’s sure to be a Russian Consul in the town,” suggested Fullaway.

“Good idea!  And I’m going to telephone to this Miss Lennard’s address in London,” continued Allerdyke.  “She evidently set off from here to Edinburgh; but, anyway, the address she gave in that wire to the manager is a London one, and I’m going to try it.  Now let’s get out and be at work.”

The ensuing conversation between these two and a deeply interested and much-impressed solicitor resulted in the dispatch of a lengthy cablegram to St. Petersburg, a conversation over the telephone with the housekeeper of Miss Celia Lennard’s London flat, and the interviewing of the captain and stewards of the steamship on which James Allerdyke had crossed from Christiania.  The net result of this varied inquiry was small, and produced little that could throw additional light on the matter in question.  The Perisco officials had not seen anything suspicious in the conduct or personality of any of their passengers.  They had observed James Allerdyke in casual conversation with some of them—­they had seen him talking to Miss Lennard, to Dr. Lydenberg, to others, ladies and gentlemen who subsequently put up at the Station Hotel for the night.  Nothing that they could tell suggested anything out of the common.  Miss
