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.
