It derives its name from a certain Sir Jaspar Guest, who flourished, I believe, under King Charles of merry memory." "Nevertheless," I added, "the Guest House is a charming survival of more spacious days." "True," returned Colin Camber, gravely. "Here it is possible to lead one's own life, away from the noisy world," he sighed again wearily. "Yes, I shall regret leaving the Guest House." "What!
"You are not going to tell me that you still persist in believing Camber to be innocent?" "Not at all. I am merely going to ask you to return at nightfall to assist me in this minor investigation." "If you ask my opinion," said the Inspector, "no further evidence is needed." "I don't agree with you," replied Harley, quietly.
There are other points, but these will be sufficient to show you that this case is more complicated than you had assumed it to be." Inspector Aylesbury did not deign to reply, or could not trust himself to do so. He turned and made his way back to the house. We reentered the study to find Mrs. Camber sitting in a chair very close to her husband.
I was surprised and delighted to find that an instant bond of sympathy sprang up between the two girls. I diplomatically left them together for a while, going into Camber's room to smoke my pipe. And when I returned: "Oh, Mr. Knox," said Val Beverley, "Mrs. Camber has something to tell you which she thinks you ought to know." "Concerning Colonel Menendez?" I asked, eagerly. Mrs.
The resemblance to the portrait in Harley's office became more marked than ever. There was an air of high breeding about the delicate features which, curiously enough, was accentuated by the unshaven chin.

This curve is technically known as the CAMBER, and upon the camber depend the strength and speed of the machine. It has been found that the lifting power of a plane gradually dwindles from the front edge or ENTERING EDGE, as it is called backwards. For this reason it is necessary to equip a machine with a very long, narrow plane, rather than with a comparatively broad but short plane.
His three reasons were illuminating. A casual observer might have regarded Colin Camber as a monument of selfishness. But it was evident to me, and I knew it must be evident to Paul Harley, that his egotism was quite selfless. To a natural human resentment and a pathetic love for his wife he had added, as an equal clause, the claim of the world upon his genius.
Thus the gathering had broken up, Inspector Aylesbury returning to Market Hilton to make his report and to release Colin Camber and Ah Tsong, and Wessex to seek his quarters at the Lavender Arms.
Anyhow, we spent the whole day out playing golf together, and in the evening, when twilight was coming on, we drove to Camber Sands. Do you know them?" "No." "They are vast and absolutely deserted. It was rather stormy, but we took a long walk on them, and then sat on a sand bank to watch the night coming on. I dare say it all sounds very ridiculous and sentimental to you! I am sure it must!"
I am going to ask you, Mr. Camber, to tell me quite frankly what was the nature of those domestic troubles, and what had caused this hatred which survives even the death of its object?" Colin Camber stood up, angular, untidy, but a figure of great dignity. "Mr. Harley," he replied, "I cannot answer your questions." Paul Harley inclined his head gravely.
