rue of ot Emily's curate and und a H reull really brilliant idea occurred to me I 1 would give her lier hera a n little In return I 1 wrote her a long letter In la which I explained that lint a really valuable c curate rate had disappeared having been last lust heard of oC at the Adlon hotel In Berlin I said sold that foul toul play was suspected which I am nun sure was true Emily evidently thou thought that the I young oung man had gone off If on a disreputable disreputable disreputable spree which would have been foul toul pla play on his part Canon Pyke feared that he had hud been decoyed Into Inton a n den of Infamy and there robbed robbed- foul play on the part of someone else I asked Ja Janet et to stay a few ten tendo do days s longer In Berlin to go Into the matter thoroughly It was Just the sort snit lt of ot thing she ou ought ht to doThe doThe do The Tile curates curate's name flame I wrote has unfortunately not been heen told me But that wont won't be nn any real obstacle
