The Black Ruby

Good morning Mr. Hampton. Good morning. Mr. Rangoa is expecting me. I know sir. Will you please come this way? Nice and cool in here. I'm straight. Yes, it is very cold in here. Mr. Rangoa is in his office. Mr. Hampton to see you sir.

Good morning Mr. Hampton. This is a great pleasure. Good morning Mr. Rangoa. I had heard that you were in Bombay. The news gets running. When it concerns an eminent lover of precious stones such as yourself. Not your alley we hear about it.

Very nicely put. I also love coming to Bombay. I'm on my way home to London catching this afternoon to play. And of what service can I be to you Mr. I'd like you to look at this. I bought it yesterday.

Thank you. I know you're the one jewel in Bombay who can identify it. The black ruby. That's what I hope you'd say. A cabochon ruby. Wait 202 carats. Color almost violent. I know all about it. I hand-rolled it one. There is no other ruby like it in all the world.

the world. I beg my hunch I knew I got a bargain. It depends what you mean by a bargain sir. I would not buy it at any price. Money is not everything even to a jeweler. Mr. Hampton, do not keep it. But what's wrong? What you don't mean? Get rid of it. No matter what

the cost, give it away. It is not called the black ruby for nothing. It will bring you disaster and death. He presents a case for Dr. Morel, another adventure by Ernest Dudley. With Cecil Parker as the famous Dr. Morel and Sheila Sim as his secretary Ms. Praill.
