Well, do you doubt your own eyes?

No; I apologise, Laurence replied.

I agree with you that the 'doctor's' lady correspondent is Princess H----. The writings are precisely alike. There can be no doubt about it. You have made a most important discovery.

Further, I can prove my theory, if proof is required. The Princess was residing at Dublin up to a few days ago. That was why she wrote 'England' at the end of 'Major Jones-Farnell's' address. What her connection is with this gentleman of aliases I cannot guess. The discovery, however, tells us one thing--that what the 'doctor' said about the nature of his secret was true.

You mean that----

That he said if his secret was revealed to the world it would cause a general sensation--that it would do great harm to the world. The secret concerns the mysterious death of Prince H----!

But who, then, is 'Meadows'? What has he to do with secrets of such great importance?
gpt
That I cannot say, but I believe your father may know. Note this, though: your father denies the fact that he confided his secret to 'Doctor Meadows.' We have discovered that Meadows not only holds his secret, but has been bound by your father not to reveal it. If your father denies this, and is, nevertheless, really connected in some way with the 'doctor,' but will not confess to the fact, is it not possible that he, in his turn, knows something about Meadows' secret? I grant you that it does not follow that such is the case, but it is a distinct probability, to my mind.
