She had never run counter to Embury's expressed orders and she hesitated to do so now. And yet the question of money, so summarily dismissed by her husband, was a very real trouble to her. In her social position, she actually needed ready cash frequently, and she had determined to get it.
"Here's the way it is," he said, gruffly. "Those three bedrooms all open into each other; but when their doors that open out into these here other rooms are locked they're quite shut off by themselves, and nobody can get into 'em. Now that last room, the one the old lady sleeps in, that don't have a door except into Mrs, Embury's room.
The butler, who was also Embury's valet and a general household steward, looked up quickly. He had been in Miss Ames' employ for many years before Eunice's marriage, and now, in the Embury's city home was the indispensable major-domo of the establishment. "Yes," went on Aunt Abby, "that will make it all quite circumspect and correct. Ferdinand, tomorrow you accompany me to Newark, New Jersey."
Embury out of the way just then, or be shown up a ruined man and, too, he was afraid Mr. Embury'd be president of the club and, too he wanted to " Fibsy gave one eloquent glance at Eunice, and paused abruptly in his speech. Every one knew every one realized that love of Sanford Embury's wife was one reason, at least, for the fatal deed.
It was the morning after the two had dined at the Embury home, and they were breakfasting together in Stone's hotel apartment. "Well, Mr. Stone, as you know, I left Mrs, Embury's last night d'eckly after Mr. Hendricks took his deeparture. As I s'pected, there was trouble a-waitin' for him just outside the street doorway, that Hanlon chap was standing and he met up with Mr.
Abruptly, then, he went back to Embury's room, asking Dr. Crowell to go with him. When they reappeared, it was plain to be seen the mystery was solved. "There is no doubt," said the Medical Examiner, "that Sanford Embury met his death by foul play. The means used was the administering of poison through the ear!"
I'm a detective, and I saw at once, that if the doctors couldn't find the cause of Mr. Embury's death, it must be a most unusual cause. So I hunted for some clue or some bit of evidence pointing to the manner of his death. Well, when I spied that little medicine dropper, half full of something, I didn't know what, but " Here he paused impressively.
Embury didn't require that. I valeted his clothes, like, and kept them in order, but he dressed by himself. I took him some tea and toast he had that before the regular breakfast " "And this morning when he didn't ring or make any sound, what did you do?" "I waited a little while and then I rapped at Mrs, Embury's door." "Yes; and she now, be careful, man " Shane's voice was impressive.
Stone here now take him away!" "There, there, Eunice, you are not quite yourself, and I don't wonder. This scene is too much for you. I'm sure you will make allowance, Mr. Stone, for Mrs, Embury's overwrought nerves " "Of course," and Fleming Stone spoke coldly, without sympathy or even apparent interest. "Let Mrs, Embury retire to her room, if she wishes."
Cyril and Isa Keith were there with their two little ones; Dick Percival, Bob and Betty Johnson and could it be possible? was that Molly Embury, on her feet, standing by Mr. Embury's side and leaning only slightly on his arm? Yes, it can be no other; and oh, wonder of wonders! she comes nearer, actually walking upon the feet that no one thought would ever again be able to bear her weight.
