Fenshawe fully by this
mail, so, in any event, I feel confident of your early departure from
Massowah, believing, as I do, that Mr. Fenshawe will not continue to
lend his name to an undertaking of bad repute."
The third letter, that addressed to "King," was from a Mr. William
Fielding, "Confidential Inquiry Agent," who revealed himself as Mr.
Forbes's informant. He wrote in similar strain to the solicitor, and
added: "I have directed the envelope to you in the name under which you
shipped on board the _Aphrodite_, though I am aware that a telegram
sent to you at Marseilles in your proper name reached you. If you will
kindly seek a private interview with Mr. Fenshawe, and tell him how a
man named Alfieri, with others, attacked Baron von Kerber at
Marseilles, and robbed and wounded him without any subsequent protest
on his part, you will help in undoing a great wrong."
Royson was sitting in the balcony veranda on the first floor of the
Hotel Grande del Universo when his astonished eyes skimmed rapidly
through these letters.
