Mr. Smith spoke as one in deep thought. And all the way home Mr.
"That's so, only it was later in the evening that the woman came along to give chin-music through the window. I am bound to say," added the captain generously, "that no one I can place my hand on saw his lorship loafing about the hotel after dark. But what of that? He may have laid his plans, and arranged for the corpse to be found later, in that blamed packing case." "Is this all your evidence?"
No, he hadn't shot anything. "What's that bulging in your pocket?" "Sort o' stone." "Struck it rich?" "Don't give me any chin-music, boys; give me tea. I'm dog-tired."
