everyday English. It says: ‘Meryt-Amen: I am waiting here for my uncle.

“I'll tell the world!" Heath looked at Vance with an air of contemptuous
criticism. "And you sent that bird Salveter to Boston!”
"He'll be back tomorrow," Vancs assured him.
“But see here"—Markham's eyes were fixed on the incriminating paper—
"what about that other letter you pieced together? And how did this letter
get in Scarlett's pocketa?"
Vance folded the paper carefully and placed it in his wallet.
“The time has come,” he said slowly, "to tell you everything it may be.

vince you of the incredible and abominable truth ”
Markham studied him for several moments, and a startled light came in
his eyes.
"God Almighty!" he breathed “I see what you mean.” He clicked this
teeth together. "But first I must phone the hospital. There's a chance that
Scarlett can help us—if he lives."
He went to the rear of the museum and mounted the spiral stairs to the
study. A few minutes later he reappeared, his face dart and hopeless.
