They were among the last to leave and Vera and Braden offered to take Constance to her apartment in Braden's car, while Stella contrived prettily to take so much of Warrington's time with the wraps that by the time they were ready to go the manner of the breaking up of the party was as she wanted it.
"That's why Glassdale was in Wrychester the day of Braden's death. And that's why Braden, or Brake, came to Wrychester at all. He and Glassdale, of course, had somehow come into possession of the secret, and no doubt meant to tell the Duke together, and get the reward there was 95,000 offered!
I shall rely on your word, mind!" "I say yes to that, doctor," answered Mitchington. "The same here, sir," said the detective. "Very well," continued Ransford. "Then this is between ourselves, until such time as I say something more about it. First of all, I am not going to tell you anything whatever about Braden's antecedents at present! Secondly I am not sure that your theory, Mr.
Braden was overjoyed. "I should like nothing better, grandfather. By jove, you are good to me. You—" "It is only right and just that I should give to the last of my race the chance to be a credit to it." There was something cryptic in the remark, but naturally it escaped Braden's notice. "You are the only one of the Thorpes left, my boy.
Braden's presence in the Ripton House the principal newspapers of the country contained the startling announcement that the well-known summer colony of Leith was to be represented in the State Legislature by a millionaire. The Republican nomination, which Mr. Crewe had secured, was equivalent to an election. For a little time after that Mr.
You got my letter?" "We went to Clark's for you, and got it there." She added that she had feared Braden, and spoke of his slack courtesy. "Oh, well," he said, partly in apology for the real-estate agent, "if a man out here don't take off his hat to a girl, that means nothing." "It wasn't the hat," she answered, and described Braden's further conduct. Lounsbury blazed up again.
"You can't stop them, in a place like Wrychester, where everybody knows everybody. There's a mystery around Braden's death it's no use denying it. Nobody knows who he was, where he came from, why he came. And it's being hinted I'm only telling you what I've gathered that Dr. Ransford knows more than he's ever told. There are, I'm afraid, grounds." "What grounds?" demanded Mary.
There seems to be no such thing as an unsuccessful operation. If God would only keep his finger out of the business, nothing could go wrong. It is always the act of God that keeps a man from enjoying the fruits of an absolutely successful operation. Up to the instant that Braden's knife took its sanguinary course, there was every indication that the operation would be successful, even though Mr.
"Very good of him, I'm sure," remarked Ransford dryly. "They all like to shift the blame from one to another! But," he added, looking searchingly at her, "you don't know anything about Braden's having come here?" He saw at once that she did, and Mary saw a slight shade of anxiety come over his face. "Yes, I do!" she replied. "That morning. But it was told to me, only today, in strict confidence."
I went up to town this morning in answer to a message from the bank where Braden lodged his money when he returned to England. To tell you the truth, the managers there and myself have, since Braden's death, been carrying to a conclusion an investigation which I began on Braden's behalf though he never knew of it years ago. At the bank I met Mr.
