Dick sank back into his chair and looked up at his brother. "Billiards?" said Randal. "Give me fifty, and I'll play you a hundred up." Dick shook his head. "Too lazy," he answered. "Miss Caldegard gone to bed?" asked Randal. "Looked as if she was coming back though she did say she was tired." "Then I'll practise that canon you were showing me. See you again," said Randal, and went upstairs.
And anyhow," she went on, with a chuckle of relish, "by the time we've shipped the girl to Holland, she won't remember her own name." Then at last horror seized the soul of Amaryllis, and consciousness left her. For the better part of their journey to town Caldegard and Randal Bellamy ate their hearts in silence. The road was good, and they had it almost to themselves.
"That's quite true," said Caldegard. "Remember Melchard, Amy?" Dick Bellamy caught the quiver of disgust which passed over the girl's face before she answered. "Horrible person!" she said. "Trixy bit him, the dachshund next door always ran away from him, and Gorgon had to be chained up." "Who is this Melchard, Caldegard?" asked Randal.
"Like the giver," said his brother. And it was to Randal also that he owed the few minutes which he was able to get alone with Amaryllis before lunch. He went up to Caldegard. "Have you heard Bruffin describe Dick's solo on the dinner-bells last night, you know? Well come and see if he's in the hall now," he said, and dragged the old man away. Left alone together,
I think that your daughter should know the whole story; and, when you've met him, I hope you'll think it good business to trust my young 'un as completely as I trust yours." Under the cedar tree on the south lawn of Bellamy's garden sat Amaryllis Caldegard. On the wicker table at her side lay a piece of needlework half-covering three fresh novels.
Upstairs, in a bedroom, pair of lady's shoes shiny green leather." Caldegard rose from his seat, opened his mouth to speak, and sat down again. In relation to merely normal death the abandoned garment carries an intimate cruelty which will unexpectedly break down control proof against direct attack.
"I've been wondering, Caldegard," said Randal, "how often and how strongly the remembrance of that incommunicable bliss cries out for an epicurean repetition of those early stages of your scientific experiment." Caldegard laughed. "Oh, she calls, and calls pretty loud sometimes," he said. "Let her call. It's all part of the experiment. Knowledge, you see, has the sweeter voice."
"He would have a noise worse than anyone else's." Dick came in from the garden. "Morning, Miss Caldegard," he said, as he sat down. "How d'you like my hooter? Sounds like a fog-horn deprived of its young, doesn't it?" Amaryllis laughed. "I hate it," she said. Randal looked up from the letter he was reading.
"Oh, of course!" she said. George, having caught the look, seized upon the words. "I wish to propose the health," he said, himself raising his glass, "of Miss Caldegard, coupling it with that of my ancient friend and fellow-filibuster, Limping Dick." When four on their feet had toasted the two sitting, Randal spoke seriously. "The inquests are likely to begin about Wednesday next," he said.
