The girl seemed dazed and unable to exercise her own will. She crept with faltering steps to the door. As she was going out, she turned an eye of affection on Berrington. "If you will only promise me that there will be no violence," she said, "I " "I promise that," Bentwood said in a cringing voice. He was the only man there who seemed to be restless and uneasy and anxious.
"It seems to me that I have made more than one," Berrington said. "In the first place my suspicion that the body of Sir Charles Darryll was brought here has been confirmed. To begin with, I have got to the bottom of that mysterious dining-room business. Come this way and I will show you. Bentwood and that officer of yours had better stay here for the moment."
A large Braun photograph of the Madonna del Granduca came later from the Pittsburgh School for Children's Librarians. The furniture is of the simplest kind. We used some tables that we had, and bought one new one, some bentwood chairs for the older children and others such as are used in kindergartens for the younger.
It was evidently a big struggle, but the mastery came. "Very well," he said. "I'll do as you want. Wait a moment."

When Sartoris came back again he had a glass in his hand and a cup of black coffee balanced on the chair before him. Bentwood snatched eagerly at the glass and drained it at a gulp.
Suffice it for the present to say that Mrs. Richford stands in great peril." "Oh, I know that," Ventmore said hoarsely. "I got that information from Bentwood, the scoundrel! At the instigation of Inspector Field, who has pretty well posted me on recent doings, I have been following that rascal pretty well all day.
What you regard as poison is a strong dose of sal-volatile as strong a dose as I dare venture to give even to a powerful man like you. Now drink this coffee." There was a ring of command in the tone which was not to be disobeyed. As soon as Bentwood had regained his power of speech, he drank his coffee. After the harsh, astringent drug, the flavour was soothing and gratifying.
There is the scoundrel Stephen Richford who tricked Beatrice Darryll into marrying him, and then there is also a ruffian called Dr. James Bentwood. What was that?" "It seemed to me like a cry of pain," Mary Sartoris said in a frozen whisper. It was very like a cry of pain indeed, a fluttering, feeble cry ending in a moaning protest.
