The Avenger 23 - the Wilder Curse
“A call to the Thornton Heights general office had revealed the fact that neither Amos Jones nor Thomas Marsden nor Andrew Sillers were coming there that day. They could be reached at home.
The Avenger wanted a word with the remaining partners of the rich development. He drove toward Marsden’s address first.
Marsden lived in a three-story apartment building, four blocks from Thornton Heights. The building was named “Marsden Manor.” Apparently, it was owned by Marsden as a separate and pe...rsonal venture, having nothing to do with Thornton Heights.
A glance at the vestibule bells revealed that, while this was a six-apartment building, there were only five apartments in it. The top floor, which should have had two, had only one big one, and this was all Marsden’s.
Benson pressed Marsden’s bell. There was no answer. He pressed again. Marsden’s office had said he was here. Even if he were out for a while, some one of his servants—there must be several for so large a place—should be at home to answer the ring.MoreLess
