Ransford, of course, must be pulled dragged! out of this infernal hole. Of course he's suspected! But my stepfather he's going to take a hand. And my stepfather, Bryce, is a devilish cute old hand at a game of this sort!" "Nobody doubts Mr. Folliot's abilities, I'm sure," said Bryce. "But you don't mind saying how is he going to take a hand?"
The police have got Fladgate, and Folliot shot Bryce and killed himself just when they were going to take him." "The doctor told you all this?" asked Mary. "Yes," replied Dick. "Just that and no more. He called me in as I was passing Folliot's door. He's coming over as soon as he can. Whew! I say, won't there be some fine talk in the town! Anyway, things'll be cleared up now.
Dick turned away to leave the room. "Well, Folliot's done for!" he remarked. "I don't care about him, but I wanted to know for certain about the other." When Dick had gone, and Ransford and Mary were left alone, a deep silence fell on the room.
"You mean to tell me that, even now, you don't know that Brake had two children, and that that oh, it's incredible!" "What's incredible?" asked Folliot. "What are you talking about?" Bryce in his eagerness and surprise grasped Folliot's arm and shook it. "Good heavens, man!" he said. "Those two wards of Ransford's are Brake's girl and boy! Didn't you know that, didn't you?"
Folliot!" Bryce laughed as he made this direct accusation, and sitting forward in his chair, pointed first to Folliot's face and then to his left hand. "Falkiner Wraye," he said, "had an unfortunate gun accident in his youth which marked him for life. He lost the middle finger of his left hand, and he got a bad scar on his left jaw. There they are, those marks! Fortunate for you, Mr.
He, wary and watching, started aside as he saw Folliot's movement, and the bullet, passing between his arm and body, found its billet in Bryce, who fell, with little more than a groan, shot through the heart.
And there was no one about, either, in that part of Folliot's big garden. "I want a bit of talk with you," said Bryce as Folliot closed the door and turned down a side-path to a still more retired region. "Private talk. Let's go where it's quiet."
Folliot's garden-party." "Confound his impudence!" growled Ransford. "Oh, well! I'll have to settle with him myself. It's useless trifling with anything like that. I gave him a quiet hint before. And since he won't take it all right!" "But what shall you do?" she asked anxiously. "Not send him away?" "If he's any decency about him, he'll go after what I say to him," answered Ransford.
Before God, I'm as innocent as as any of you about Mr. Brake's death! Upon my soul and honour I am!" "You know all about it;" insisted Mitchington. "Come, now, isn't it true that you're Flood, and that Folliot's Wraye, the two men whose trick on him got Brake convicted years ago? Answer that!" Flood looked from one side to the other.
Deramore remained at her upper window and if she saw him follow Braden. "But there are circumstances, no doubt, which ought to be inquired into. And it's certainly very curious that Dr. Ransford should send a wreath to the grave of a stranger."
