Who
is
his
uncle
?
”
“
Mr
.
Vavasour
,
joint
general
manager
of
the
London
and
Scottish
Bank
.
”
“
Suppose
,
Miss
Farquhar
,
that
you
recount
to
me
the
whole
story
?
”
“
Very
well
.
As
you
know
,
the
Bank
wished
to
extend
their
credits
in
America
,
and
for
this
purpose
decided
to
send
over
a
million
dollars
in
Liberty
Bonds
.
Mr
.
Vavasour
selected
his
nephew
,
who
had
occupied
a
position
of
trust
in
the
Bank
for
many
years
and
who
was
conversant
with
all
the
details
of
the
Bank
’
s
dealings
in
New
York
,
to
make
the
trip
.
The
Olympia
sailed
from
Liverpool
on
the
23rd
,
and
the
bonds
were
handed
over
to
Philip
on
the
morning
of
that
day
by
Mr
.
Vavasour
and
Mr
.
Shaw
,
the
two
joint
general
managers
of
the
London
and
Scottish
Bank
.
They
were
counted
,
enclosed
in
a
package
,
and
sealed
in
his
presence
,
and
he
then
locked
the
package
at
once
in
his
portmanteau
.
”
“
A
portmanteau
with
an
ordinary
lock
?
”
“
No
,
Mr
.
Shaw
insisted
on
a
special
lock
being
fitted
to
it
by
Hubbs
’
s
.
Philip
,
as
I
say
,
placed
the
package
at
the
bottom
of
the
trunk
.
It
was
stolen
just
a
few
hours
before
reaching
New
York
.
A
rigorous
search
of
the
whole
ship
was
made
,
but
without
result
.
The
bonds
seemed
literally
to
have
vanished
into
thin
air
.
”
Poirot
made
a
grimace
.
“
But
they
did
not
vanish
absolutely
,
since
I
gather
that
they
were
sold
in
small
parcels
within
half
an
hour
of
the
docking
of
the
Olympia
!
Well
,
undoubtedly
the
next
thing
is
for
me
to
see
Mr
.
Ridgeway
.
”
“
I
was
about
to
suggest
that
you
should
lunch
with
me
at
the
‘
Cheshire
Cheese
.
’
Philip
will
be
there
.
He
is
meeting
me
,
but
does
not
yet
know
that
I
have
been
consulting
you
on
his
behalf
.
