Crane and Alister get into the carriage and begin their ride to the manor house while talking about the firgurine.

Unknown to them,there is a spy in the back seat.

Alister seemed nervous, and very guarded in what he said.

Earlier in the day he had received a phone call and the muffled voice on the line had told him to be very careful in his investigation or dire means would be taken to stop him.

This news disturbed Crane, for in this year of 1890 only the wealthy had telephones, and that meant someone with real power was behind all of this.

Perhaps the murdered men had been working for the man on the phone,maybe diamonds or other precious jewels had been hidden in the figurine.

When they arrived at the manor house they found William standing in the door, pistol in hand.

"William!" cried Crane, jarring his brother from a hyptnotic state, whereupon William collapsed.

Crane sank to the floor,holding William in his arms he noticed the marks on his neck.

It appeared that someone had tried to strangle William with a garrote.

The marks did appear as burns,someone had used a rope or wire on William,but he was still breathing,much to Crane's relief.

They carried William back into the house where they laid him on the settee in the parlour.

They applied a cold cloth to his forehead and tried to get him to take a drink of water,but William was unable to raise his head,and was too weak to explain what had taken place.

Crane returned to the door where he picked up Williams pistol, it was then that he noticed the blood trail leading down the steps.

He followed the trail of blood and found himself in the rose garden,there he saw another body stretched out on the ground.
