by certify that the person of
the name of Ganimard gave proof of the most remarkable qualities
during his stay in this house. He was exemplary in his behaviour,
thoroughly devoted and attentive; and, unaided by the least clue,
he foiled a part of my plans and saved the insurance-companies four
hundred and fifty thousand francs. I congratulate him; and I am
quite willing to overlook his blunder in not anticipating that the
downstairs telephone communicates with the telephone in Sonia
Kritchnoff's bedroom and that, when telephoning to Mr.
Chief-detective, he was at the same time telephoning to me to clear
out as fast as I could. It was a pardonable slip, which must not be
allowed to dim the glamour of his services nor to detract from the
merits of his victory.

"Having said this, I beg him to accept the homage of my admiration
and of my sincere friendship.
