'I never can say the last part, said Tommy.
Sweetwater had remembered the group of sailors who had passed by the corner of Agatha's house just as Batsy fell forward on the window-sill, and cabling to the captain of the vessel, at the first port at which they were likely to put in, was fortunate enough to receive in reply a communication from one of the men, who remembered the words she shouted.
"O yes; before anyone had started for the hill at all. Why, what has this young lady got to do with a flower dropped by Batsy?" "She? Nothing. Only and I have never given you bad advice, Abel don't let that thing hang any longer from your buttonhole.
For from the nature of things no proof of the truth was probable. Batsy being dead, only God and his own heart could know that the facts of that awful half-hour were as he had told them.

His attention was at once attracted by the body of the woman he had seen from below, lying half in and half out of the open window.
It hung limp, and the sight made him sick, notwithstanding his threescore years of experience. "Who's that?" he cried. "That's not Agatha Webb." "No, that's Batsy, the cook. She's dead as well as her mistress. We left her where we found her for the coroner to see." "But this is horrible," murmured Mr. Sutherland. "Has there been a butcher here?"
