Leaving strict injunctions with the chamber- maid not to quit the room till he should come back, Captain Ducie went downstairs with the 141 intention of revisiting the scene of the disaster. He called in at the bar to obtain his favourite " thimbleful '' of cognac,, and there he found a very agreeable landlady with whom he got into conversation respecting the accident. Some five minutes had passed thus when he was touched on the shoulder by the chambermaid. " If you please, sir, the foreign gen...tleman has woke up, and is anxiously asking to see you/'' With a shrug of the shoulders, and a slight lowering of his black eyebrows, Captain Ducie went back upstairs. Platzoff^s eager eyes fixed him as he entered the room. Dncie sat down close by the bed, and said in a kindly tone : " What is it ? What can I do for you ? Com- mand me in any way/^ " My servant — where is he ? And — and my despatch box. Valuable papers. Try to find it.^' Ducie nodded and left the room. The in- quiries he made soon elicited the fact that Platzoff''s servant had been even more severely injured than his master, and was at that moment lying, more dead than alive, in a little room up- 142 stairs.
