Fletcher grasped my arm in a vice-like grip. To him, too, had come the ghastly conviction the gruesome thought that neither of us dared to name. It was Nayland Smith's coffin that we were to carry!

How did he take the theory? Wethermill was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed, his face white and contorted with a spasm of pain.
