“Oh, ’course I knew Clarendon. He and his lady friend
stopped in from time to time. They were usually on
their way to Kilgore’s Gaming Parlour, or comin’ back from
it,” says Porky Shinwell.
“What’s Kilgore’s Gaming Parlour?”
“Ha, ha, it’s a nice little place down in the southeast,
frequented by swells and toffs. The coppers been tryin’ to
close it down for years but Kilgore knows when they come
within three blocks.
“Clarendon was into him for a sizeable sum, or so it was said
— 7,000 pounds was the figure I heard. Got to the point
that Kilgore wouldn’t allow him in his place. I understand
Clarendon didn’t take too kindly to that. Almost caused a
row until Kilgore’s right hand man, Gus Bullock, stepped
in. Clarendon backed down. I don’t blame him none. Gus
is a mean character right enough. There’s a joke about
Gus. Somebody once said he’d like to see the customer
who gave Gus that scar. He was told, so would the fellow’s
widow. Ha, ha.
“Anyway, Kilgore made it clear that he expected the money
and there were bad feelings all around. Then maybe a month
or so later, Clarendon shows up all smiles, and he and
Kilgore gettin’ on like brothers. Figure Clarendon must have
paid him back. Then Calvin Leach steps into the picture.”
“Who’s Calvin Leach?”
“Well, rumour has it that Leach deals in what you might
call ‘stolen property.’ Square dealer, too, give you one-half
the value of the article. Now Calvin Leach don’t usually
associate with the likes of Claude Kilgore, but there it is.
Leach, Kilgore and Clarendon meeting late at night just as
thick as, uh, fog. Ha, ha. The meetings continued on and
right up until, well, the night before Clarendon’s death.”
“Did these meetings take place at the Raven ant Rat?”
“Well, won’t say they did and won’t say they didn’t. Will say,
though, everything I told you is as true as if it was written
in the Good Book. Now we been standin’ here jawin’ and I
don’t hear nobody orderin’ a pint or nothin’. What’ll it be?”

Sir Sanford Leeds expresses his hope that his wife’s tiara
will soon be recovered.
“It is a valuable piece, to be sure, but more than that, my
wife has been under a doctor’s care since its theft and just
yesterday took up a room at St. George’s Hospital. She is even
more overwrought than when young Clarendon poured
champagne down the, ahem, bodice of her Paris original at
the Richmond’s party on the 20th past. Which, come to think
of it, was the last time she wore the tiara.”
“Where was the tiara kept?”
“In the bottom drawer of the bureau, under some of my
wife’s, ahem, more frilly garments.”
“Were there signs of extensive search, drawers left open, that
sort of thing?”
“No, the burglar knew right where to look, it seems.”
“You were not at home, correct?”
“That’s correct. My first night out since the Richmond’s
party. Down with the flu, what. Still not in top form but
couldn’t miss the old regiment’s annual wing-ding.”
“Thank you, Sir Sanford. We wish Lady Leeds a speedy
recovery.”
“Recover the tiara and she’ll come right around!”

Wiggins, disguised to the point of being almost
unrecognisable, meets us by prearrangement at the
corner of Penton Place and Kennington Park Road.
“Leach is what Porky said he was, a dealer in stolen goods.
He looked at me funny when I mentioned Clarendon. Said
he didn’t know him.”

Our hope to sidle into the Societies Club and corner
Langdale Pike alone is a vain one. Luck is with us,
however, for Pike is expounding upon the very subject in
which we are interested. We take our place on the fringe of
the group gathered about him and listen.
“Alas, dear friends, the ‘Terrible Twins’ are no more. Poor Guy
Clarendon, cut off in his mischievous prime. Poor Loretta
Nolan. She must be desolate. The loss of a kindred spirit who
would willingly pour champagne down the front of Lady
Leeds’ new Paris gown solely for her amusement must be a
burden more difficult to bear than the loss of a lover.”
“I thought they were lovers,” says someone in the crowd.
“Dear me, no. Outwardly, they did make an excellent
couple. He, tall, handsome, from a monied family. She,
beautiful, an heiress in her own right. It could have been
a match made in heaven. It was, however, a match made in
more infernal regions. They were the brothers Grimm, not
Romeo and Juliet.”
“Then could Frances Nolan’s claim that she and Clarendon
were lovers be true?”
“It is hard to credit, isn’t it. But I believe she claimed that they
were in love, not lovers. There is a vast difference and in that
difference lies the rub.
“Guy Clarendon had been all but disowned by his father,
a father who had grown tired of hushing the scandals and
paying the gambling debts. Loretta Nolan had managed
to fritter away a considerable fortune in three short years.
How were the ‘Terrible Twins’ to proceed with extravagant
merrymaking when they were so out-of-pocket?”
He suddenly breaks into peals of laughter. “You surely
remember the 200 cabs filled with 200 beggars they sent
to the Richmond May Day Soiree a year ago Ha, ha. The
congestion and confusion were so great that none of the real
guests could gain entrance before midnight. Delicious!
“But such elaborate pranks cost a pretty penny and
I’m afraid Guy and Loretta were fresh out of pennies,
pretty or otherwise. Enter sister Frances. A sweet lady,
by all accounts, but dull of feature, dull of form and, for
Clarendon’s and Loretta’s purposes, dull of wit. However,
her inheritance was still quite intact and that was the real
target of Clarendon’s affections.”
As the conversation shifts to the ‘Society Burglar’ centering
more on the foibles of the victims than anything else, we leave.

At Somerset House we find that the will of Sir Malcolm
Nolan left his entire estate to his widow Margret.
If she should precede him in death, then the estate was to
be equally divided between his two daughters, Frances
and Loretta. The estate included a one-third share in the
Aberdeen Navigation Company. The will of Frances Nolan,
dated on June, says that, in the case of her incapacitation, her
sister's legal guardian will become Dr Trevelyan.

Dr Trevelyan’s manservant greets us at the door
bedecked in apron and carrying a broom. As he tells
us that Dr Trevelyan is at his office, a street cat attempts to
dodge into the house. With a swipe of the broom worthy of
a professional cricketer, he sends the cat flying back into the
street and meowing away.

Dr Trevelyan is an athletic looking man, and everything
about him, his movements and gestures, is very
precise. His eyes are piercing and vivacious, and seem to
read the depths of your soul. It is ever-so-slightly disturbing.
He drops himself into the chair behind his desk, fiddles with
his pocket watch and asks how he can help us.
“We understand that you dined with Frances Nolan on the
evening of July 1st.”
“Yes, that is correct. We dine every Sunday. Her sister
Loretta has been under my care for some ten years, first at
the Mesmer-Braid Institute and then in private practice.
I meet with Miss Frances weekly to keep her informed of
her sister’s progress. Let me say that it is difficult to believe
that Miss Frances committed this deed. She has a quiet,
unassuming personality. One might describe her, albeit
unkindly, as mousy. An act of such direct confrontation
would not be at all in keeping with her character.”
“Are she and her sister close?”
“They lead very different and separate lives. Miss Frances
lives a quiet life, while Miss Loretta’s is wild and flamboyant.
Frances stays at home. Loretta never misses a party. Their
individual laughs illustrate their differences. Frances’ is
timid, no more than a titter. Loretta’s laugh is deep and
resounding, totally uninhibited. For her part, Miss Frances
loves and cares for her sister as a parent would a child. Miss
Loretta, well, she often seeks refuge with her sister and loves
her as much as she is capable of love.”
“Thank you, Doctor.”
