Jenks slept on the same floor as did Bingham. He was a powerful fellow, faithful, reliable, and of reasonably good intelligence. A native intelligence, for Jenks's education had been neglected; he could scarcely read or write.

Jenks was always up before Ezekiel Bingham retired. He was on duty all day and in the early evening. He went to bed when the lawyer came in for the night. Hence someone was always awake and about in the Bingham house.

The night after his secret meeting with the man who called himself Elbert Joyce, the old lawyer had taken his usual evening ride down to Holmwood, leaving the faithful Jenks in the house. Upon his return at half past ten, Bingham had dismissed Jenks. The man was now sound asleep in another room. But the mere pressure of a button upon the lawyer's desk would summon the attendant instantly. The buzzer was beside the sleeper's bed.
