He discovered something something we don't yet know and he went to the Villa Amette and shot her in revenge for the old man's death. That's my firm belief." "Then why has The Sparrow taken all these elaborate precautions?" "Because he's afraid himself of the truth coming out," said Benton. "He certainly has looked after Hugh very well.
"What business had you that led you to call at that hour upon such a notorious person?" Hugh remained silent. He saw that to tell Benton the truth would be to reopen the whole question of the will and of Louise. So he merely shrugged his shoulders. "Won't you tell me what really happened at the Villa Amette, Hugh?" asked the elder man persuasively.
"But she is one of Il Passero's assistants eh?" The girl laughed lightly. "Perhaps," was her enigmatical reply. "Who knows? It is, however, evident that Il Passero is seriously concerned at the tragic affair at the Villa Amette." "Have you ever been there?" She hesitated a few moments, then said: "Yes, once." "And you know the old Italian servant Cataldi?" She replied in the affirmative.
As for Hugh, he is now happily married to Dorise, and as the Probate Court has decided that Woodthorpe and the substantial income are his, he is enjoying all his father's wealth. Yvonne Ferad is still Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo. She still lives on the hill in the picturesque Villa Amette, and is still known to the habitues of the Rooms as Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo.
"Then you refuse to tell me anything you know concerning the events of that night at the Villa Amette?" "Yes," he snapped. "Take your money, and leave me in peace!" "And I have come all the way from England to see you," remarked the disappointed man. "Be extremely careful.
Each morning on opening the papers, before reading the war news, Senora Desnoyers would hunt other notices. "Where was Father Amette going to be to-day?" Then, under the arched vaultings of that temple, would she unite her voice with the devout chorus imploring supernatural intervention. "Lord, save France!"
Then inquiry for Monsieur Henfrey, and the discovery that he had left the hotel unseen. So far Dorise knew nothing of Hugh's part in the drama of the Villa Amette, but suddenly he was horrified by the thought that the police, finding he had escaped, would question her. They had been seen together many times in Monte Carlo, and the eyes of the police of Monaco are always very wide open.
She rented an apartment in Paris, and afterwards played at Monte Carlo, where she won a considerable sum, with the proceeds of which she purchased the Villa Amette, which she now occupies each season." "Extracts of reports concerning Marie Leullier, alias Yvonne Ferad, are herewith appended: "Criminal Investigation Department, New Scotland Yard, London to the Prefecture of Police, Paris.
Hugh took her as far as the entrance to the Metropole and then, after wishing her au revoir and promising to go with her to Nice if invited, he hastily retraced his steps to the Palmiers. Five minutes later he was speaking to the old Italian at the Villa Amette. "Mademoiselle is still unconscious, m'sieur," was the servant's reply to his eager inquiry.
He recollected at that moment the girl who had been his fellow-guest in Genoa the dainty mademoiselle who evidently had some secret knowledge of his father's death, and yet refused to divulge a single word. Ever since that memorable night at the Villa Amette, he had existed in a mist of suspicion and uncertainty.
