At lunch she questioned him with uncommon particularity about the proceedings of Mr. Flexen, the discoveries he had made, the lines on which he was making his investigation. Her interest seemed natural enough, and he told her all that he knew, which was little. She seemed much disappointed by his lack of information. He was careful not to tell her that Mr.
Flexen carelessly, but his eyes were very keen on Hutchings' face. Hutchings was pale, and he went paler. He tried to stammer something, but his voice died in his throat. "Well, I'm sorry you can't give me any information about this lady. Good afternoon," said Mr. Flexen, and he turned on his heel and went back to the car. He was impressed by Hutchings' air and manner.
"Rather a curt way of disposing of such a large sum," said Mr. Flexen, taking the letter and going to the window. "It was the way Lord Loudwater did things," said Mr. Harrison. "Yes, yes; I know," said Mr. Carrington. "Some things." They both looked at Mr. Flexen, who was examining the letter through a magnifying glass.
"Once we get her in the witness-box we establish the fact that Lord Loudwater had made up his mind to halve her allowance, for she'll have to give the reason for her visiting him so late that night; and so we get Manley's motive for committing the murder also established." "I see. But will you be able to use her evidence in the first trial at the second?" said Mr. Flexen doubtfully.
Flexen took out his pipe, lit it, and moved to an easy-chair to let his brain work more easily. He tabulated his facts. Colonel Grey had gone through the library window at about twenty minutes past ten. Hutchings had gone through the library window at half-past ten. The mysterious woman had gone through the library window at about ten minutes to eleven.
He thought that William Roper had thrown all the light on the matter he could; and he had certainly revealed a number of facts which looked uncommonly important. "And that was all you saw?" he said. "That was all except 'er ladyship," said William Roper. "Her ladyship?" said Mr. Flexen sharply. "Yes.
Flexen told them also of Hutchings, his threats, and his visit to the Castle. That was as far as his confidences went. But they were enough. He had given them the very things they wanted, and they both assured him that they would at once inform him of any discoveries they might make themselves.
"I should think that yours was pretty easy to lose," said Mr. Flexen dryly. "I know it. It is very short, sir. It always was; and I can't help it," said Hutchings in an apologetic voice. "Then you'd better set about learning to help it, my man," said Mr. Flexen. He took out his pipe and filled it slowly. The flush faded a little from Hutchings' face. Mr. Flexen lighted his pipe and rose.
Flexen lost no time. It was nearly six o'clock. It was likely that the Colonel would be back at his inn after his fishing. Mrs. Turnbull was sure that he had as usual gone fishing, for, when he set out in the morning, he had taken his rod with him. Antony Grey was not the man to omit a simple precaution like that. Therefore, Mr.
By the way, is there anything in the way of insanity in Lady Loudwater's family?" "No, I never heard of any, and I should have been almost certain to hear if there were any," said the lawyer in some surprise. "That's all right," said Mr. Flexen. "By the way, how did you get on with the newspaper men?" said the lawyer.
