Did you notice anything you couldn't account for in any of the servants when the loss of the Diamond was first found out?" I had got on very fairly well with Sergeant Cuff so far.

On entering the drawing-room at this hour, I found Miss Ambient in possession, as she had been the evening before. "I was right about Dolcino," she said, as soon as she saw me, with a strange little air of triumph. "He is really very ill." "Very ill! Why, when I last saw him, at four o'clock, he was in fairly good form."
"It is not much that I am going to ask," said Field. "Only this: Please take us at once to the spot where we can find the body of Sir Charles Darryll." Bentwood jumped nimbly to his feet. The question seemed to fairly stagger him. If he had thought of concealing anything, he abandoned the idea now. "Come this way, gentlemen," he said. "You are too many for me altogether.

Several months ago his Legitimist faith seemed vacillating he talked to me very fairly about the duties a Frenchman owed to France, and hinted that he should place his sword at the command of Napoleon III.
