Spencer Levendale,
who is, I believe, a very rich man, a resident in one of the best parts of
this district, and a Member of Parliament. It would appear from all you've
discovered, amongst you, up to now, that Spencer Levendale has been
privately mixed up with old Daniel Multenius in some business which seems
to be connected with South Africa. Now, attend to what I say:--About the
time that I knew Daniel Molteno in Houndsditch, Daniel Molteno had a
partner--a junior partner, whose name, however, didn't appear over the
shop. He was a much younger man than Daniel--in fact, he was quite a young
man--I should say he was then about twenty-three or four--not more. He was
of medium height, dark, typically Jewish, large dark eyes, olive skin,
good-looking, smart, full of go. And his name--the name I knew him by--was
Sam Levin." The other men in the room glanced at each other--and one of
them softly murmured what all was thinking.
"The same initials!"
"Just so!" agreed Mr. Killick. "That's what struck me--Sam Levin: Spencer
Levendale. Very well!--I continue. One day I went to Daniel Molteno's shop
to get something repaired, and it struck me that I hadn't seen Sam Levin
the last two or three times I had been in.
