The Dead Harlequin
Mr Satterthwaite is at the London exhibition of up-and-coming artist Frank Bristow, where he sees a remarkable painting by the artist. The painting depicts a Harlequin, with a face resembling that of Mr Quin. Satterthwaite recognises the setting in the painting as the place where Lord Charnley shot himself fourteen years before. Could it really be a simple coincidence?
As can be seen throughout these stories Mr Satterthwaite is a great patron of the arts. He visits the opera, and has a young protégé, Olga, who is to make her debut as Isolde. He has a valuable art collection (and no heirs to leave it to!) and he likes to visit the Casino in Monte Carlo. His age is said to be sixty-nine although, from the point of view of many young people he comes into contact with, he is at least eighty, if not a hundred! This short story is published in The Mysterious Mr Quin.
