Mr. Moto Takes a Vacation Page #7

with your true appearance?

Certainly, Mr. Moto.

It will be a relief to be rid of it.

I understand.

My particular aversion is beards.

They itch.

There.

And now, Mr. Moto, would

you have the courtesy...

of explaining to me just how

you came to suspect me?

Gladly. Your trusted servant Wong

appeared to have some secret from you.

- Yes.

- The daring manner in which you killed him...

- was characteristic of Metaxa.

- So you invented that story of Wong's death speech.

Oh, yes. He was quite dead

when I found him.

Your generous contribution to

the funds of the expedition...

was a shrewd investment

also, I have...

great admiration for

your infinite patience...

but you made one simple

mistake, Mr. Metaxa.

- How so?

- When you returned here tonight...

your wet shoes left their mark

on the museum floor.

- What is so unusual about that?

- Nothing, except the footprints were the firm stride...

of a healthy man

until they reached the curator's office...

where they suddenly, and most conveniently,

developed a decided limp.

You are most ingenious, Mr. Moto.

It was stupid of me not to have seen through

your false accusation of Hildebrand.

- What's going on here?

- Get back there!

- My antiquities! My mummies!

- My goodness!

Mr. Moto needs me!

I am coming, Mr. Moto!

- What's the matter, sir?

- Turn on the lights!

- Watch this man.

- What?

And now, Mr. Metaxa,

if you have no more tricks to play...

- perhaps you will capitulate?

- Do you need any help, Mr. Moto?

Thank you, not now.

But you may see that

Professor Hildebrand is released.

- What's this? Another one, Mr. Moto?

- Yes, Sergeant.

This is the real Metaxa.

Show him special attention, please.

You will find a Mr. Borodoff

under guard in the museum.

He will make a fourth,

should they wish to play bridge.

Oh, Mr. Stevens! May I suggest

that you place the crown in safe hands...

until the alarm system is repaired?

Don't worry, Mr. Moto.

I'll take care of it!

Oh!

I'm awfully sorry

I dropped it, Mr. Moto.

Oh, well. Perhaps I was not meant

to have a vacation.
