"I have to consider others," repeated Juliet obstinately; "if Cuthbert knew what I feel " "Why don't you tell him? See here, Juliet, you are keeping something back from me.
"It might be so," said Mallow, dazed with this view of the case. "I certainly seem to be in a hole. If I could see Juliet but her mother prevents me." "I have a plan to bring you together.

The detective waited upstairs in Le Beau's sitting-room for the conclusion of the meeting, but when Mallow never appeared he went down. Then he learned from Peggy, who was in the office, that the lovers had been gone for some time "I thought you knew," said Miss Garthorne.
Juliet, coming down, ran straight into his arms, and turned white. "You!" she gasped, retreating, "you are here after all." "Did you not hear Miss Garthorne tell you so?" asked Cuthbert.

"But of course, if you can explain " "Explain!" she cried wildly and sinking into a chair. "What can I explain? That I saw you climbing that wall, running away apparently from the scene of your crime.
"For the murder of Miss Loach." "It is not true it is not true," gasped Juliet. "Oh, Peggy, what does it all mean? How do you come to know ?" "Because I'm engaged to Miles Jennings." "The detective! The man who behaved so badly to me?" "I don't know what you call behaving badly," said Miss Garthorne in an offended way. "Miles wishes to help you out of your difficulties, and you will not allow him.
