I remember she had a governess. Of course, Peggie was a mere child then about five or six. Must have been six, because she's quite twenty-one now." "And Mr. Tertius?" Burchill spoke the name with a good deal of subtle meaning, and Barthorpe suddenly looked at him with a rising comprehension. "Tertius?" he answered. "No Tertius hadn't arrived on the scene then. He came soon after."
I've got a second warrant for you, and the charge'll be read to you when you get to the station. You'll clear yourself of the charge of murder, but not of t'other charge, I'm thinking!" "Second warrant! Another charge!" growled Burchill. "What charge?" "I should think you know as well as I do," replied Davidge quietly. "You're a bigger fool than I take you for if you don't. Conspiracy, of course!
Engledew, no objection I'm sure to having a press gentleman at them. Mr. Triffitt, ma'am, of the Argus newspaper. Known to these gentlemen all of 'em unless it's the gentleman at the far end, there. Known, at any rate, to Mr. Selwood and the Professor," continued Davidge, nodding with much familiarity to the person he named. "And likewise to Mr. Burchill there. How do you do, sir, this evening?
Of course, he said to himself, of course he knew Burchill. Burchill had been Jacob Herapath's private secretary for rather more than a year, and it was now about six months since Jacob had got rid of him.

In the course of Triffitt's brief and fairly glorious journalistic career, he had enjoyed and suffered a few startling experiences.

Farrington watched her closely and noted the colour mounting to her faded cheeks, and the look of reproach in her eyes as she at length turned them upon his face.

"That was Barthorpe, of course," he said. "He lost no time, you see, Tertius, in trying to see Burchill." "Why should he want to see Burchill?" asked Mr. Tertius.
