[The Grand Babylon Hotel by Arnold Bennett]@TWC D-Link bookThe Grand Babylon Hotel CHAPTER Seven NELLA AND THE PRINCE 2/16

He also had several interviews with Prince Aribert of Posen, but though the Prince was suavity itself and beyond doubt genuinely concerned about the fate of his dead attendant, yet it seemed to Racksole that he was keeping something back, that he hesitated to say all he knew.
Racksole, with characteristic insight, decided that the death of Reginald Dimmock was only a minor event, which had occurred, as it were, on the fringe of some far more profound mystery.

At the moment he took only one measure--he arranged that the theft of Dimmock's body should not appear in the newspapers.
