Let me only say go with a companion when you next visit Dexter; and be on your guard against yourself when your talk turns on Mrs. Beauly." "On my guard against myself? What do you mean?" "Practice, my dear Mrs. Eustace, has given me an eye for the little weaknesses of human nature.
My utmost expectations had not prepared me for the tone of absolute conviction in which he had spoken. At the best, I had anticipated that he might, by the barest chance, agree with me in suspecting Mrs. Beauly. And now his own lips had said it, without hesitation or reserve! "There isn't the shadow of a doubt: Mrs. Beauly poisoned her." "Sit down," he said, quietly.
The banks of the loch now appeared far more cultivated than at the other end. Sailing through little Loch Dochfour, we again entered the canal, which runs down into Loch Beauly; while the river Ness, which we had on our right side, falls into the Moray Firth, close to Inverness, which stands on a plain about a mile off.
Beauly was not to be concealed. If eyes can tell secrets, she must have discovered, in my eyes, that I hungered and thirsted to see her in the hangman's hands. From first to last, I tell you, Mrs. Borgia-Beauly was on her guard against me. Can I describe her cunning? All my resources of language are not equal to the task.
A determined adherent of James the Second, he joined Viscount Dundee in 1689, when the standard was raised in favour of the abdicated monarch. During a funeral which had assembled at Beauly, near Inverness, Alexander received some affront, which, in a fit of passion, he avenged. He killed his antagonist, and instantly fled to Wales, in order to escape the effects of his crime.
And the name of that woman was Mrs. Beauly! Yes! To that startling conclusion I had arrived. It was, to my mind, the inevitable result of reading the evidence. Look back for a moment to the letter produced in court, signed "Helena," and addressed to Mr. Macallan. Beauly was the writer. Very well.
Please forgive me for going to bed without saying good-night. I have overexerted myself; I am dreadfully fatigued. Dexter suspects Mrs. Beauly. Never mind his reasons; there is no time to enter into his reasons now. He puts the ease to himself thus: 'A weary woman would never have given herself the trouble to write this.
I had believed him then. I determined to believe him still. I did believe him. But I hated Mrs. Beauly! As for the painful impression produced in Court by the readings from the letters and the Diary, it seemed to be impossible to increase it. Nevertheless it was perceptibly increased.
Look again at the evidence. The nurse admits that she was asleep from past two in the morning to six. She also speaks of a locked door of communication with the sickroom, the key of which had been removed, nobody knew by whom. Some person must have stolen that key. Why not Mrs. Beauly? One word more, and all that I had in my mind at that time will be honestly revealed.
If they wished to leave his Lordship's service, or asked for their wages, he alleged some crime against them, which he always found sufficient witnesses to prove. They were then sent off to the cave of Beauly, a dismal retreat, about a mile from his castle, where they were confined until they were reduced to submission.
