"If you want to sympathize with anybody," said T. X. gloomily,"sympathize with me."On the following day T. X. was summoned to the Home Office andwent steeled for a most unholy row. The Home Secretary, a largeand worthy gentleman, given to the making of speeches on everyexcuse, received him, however,fake uggs for sale, with unusual kindness.
"I've sent for you, Mr. Meredith," he said, "about thisunfortunate Greek. I've had all his private papers looked intoand translated and in some cases decoded, because as you areprobably aware his diaries and a great deal of his correspondencewere in a code which called for the attention of experts."T. X. had not troubled himself greatly about Kara's private papersbut had handed them over,fake uggs boots, in accordance with instructions, to theproper authorities.
"Of course, Mr. Meredith," the Home Secretary went on, beamingacross his big table, "we expect you to continue your search forthe murderer, but I must confess that your prisoner when yousecure him will have a very excellent case to put to a jury.""That I can well believe, sir," said T. X,knockoff handbags.
"Seldom in my long career at the bar," began the Home Secretary inhis best oratorical manner, "have I examined a record so utterlydiscreditable as that of the deceased man."Here he advanced a few instances which surprised even T. X.
"The men was a lunatic," continued the Home Secretary, a vicious,evil man who loved cruelty for cruelty's sake. We have in thisdiary alone sufficient evidence to convict him of three separatemurders, one of which was committed in this country."T. X. looked his astonishment.
"You will remember, Mr. Meredith, as I saw in one of your reports,that he had a chauffeur, a Greek named Poropulos."T. X. nodded.
"He went to Greece on the day following the shooting ofVassalaro," he said.
The Home Secretary shook his head"He was killed on the same night," said the Minister, "and youwill have no difficulty in finding what remains of his body in thedisused house which Kara rented for his own purpose on thePortsmouth Road. That he has killed a number of people in Albaniayou may well suppose. Whole villages have been wiped out toprovide him with a little excitement. The man was a Nero withoutany of Nero's amiable weaknesses. He was obsessed with the ideathat he himself was in danger of assassination, and saw an enemyeven in his trusty servant. Undoubtedly the chauffeur Poropuloswas in touch with several Continental government circles. Youunderstand," said the Minister in conclusion, "that I am tellingyou this, not with the idea of expecting you, to relax yourefforts to find the murderer and clear up the mystery, but inorder that you may know something of the possible motive for thisman's murder,Fake Designer Handbags."T. X. spent an hour going over the decoded diary and documents andleft the Home Office a little shakily. It was inconceivable,incredible. Kara was a lunatic, but the directing genius was adevil.
T. X. had a flat in Whitehall Gardens and thither he repaired tochange for dinner. He was half dressed when the evening paperarrived and he glanced as was his wont first at the news' page andthen at the advertisement column. He looked down the columnmarked "Personal" without expecting to find anything of particularinterest to himself, but saw that which made him drop the paperand fly round the room in a frenzy to complete his toilet.
