'Good evening, doctor, said Vandeloup, laying the book down on the table at which Gollipeck was seated; 'I've come to return you this and say good-bye. 'Aha, going away? asked Gollipeck, leaning back in his chair, and looked sharply at the young man through his spectacles, 'right see the world you're clever won't go far wrong no!

When he finished he bought a choice cigar, had a glass of Chartreuse, and after resting in the commercial room for a time he went out for a walk, intending to call on Slivers and Dr Gollipeck, and in fact do anything to kill time until it would be necessary for him to go to Pierre and take him to the railway station.

He smiled a little, and closing the book put it under his arm, while he turned smilingly towards his companion, whom he found looking keenly at him. 'I shall enjoy this book immensely, he said, touching the volume. Dr Gollipeck nodded and chuckled in a hoarse rattling kind of way. 'So I should think, he answered, with another sharp look, 'you are a very clever young man, my friend.

Dr Gollipeck, however, being used to these little eccentricities of his toilet, pinned the waistcoat together, and then, sitting down, spread his red bandanna handkerchief over his knees, and stared steadily at Vandeloup, who had put on a loose velvet smoking coat, and, with a cigarette in his mouth, was leaning against the mantelpiece.

As to Dr Gollipeck, that eccentric individual was standing in front of the fire, looking even more dilapidated than usual, and drying his red bandanna handkerchief in an abstract manner. Selina was in another room getting a drink for Madame, and as Vandeloup entered she came back with it. 'Good day, Madame, said the Frenchman, advancing to the table, and putting his hat and the book down on it.

Vandeloup stooped down to the portmanteau lying open at his feet, and picked up a revolver, which he pointed straight at Gollipeck. 'You make an excellent target, he observed, quickly, putting his finger on the trigger. Dr Gollipeck sat down, and arranged his handkerchief once more over his knees. 'Very likely, he answered, coolly, 'but a target you won't practise on.

But with regard to the death of Mademoiselle Sprotts, she died as you have said; but I, though the maker of the poison, did not administer it. 'Who did, then? asked Gollipeck, who was quite prepared for this denial. Vandeloup smoothed his moustache, and looked at the doctor with a keen glance. 'Kitty Marchurst, he said, coolly.

If Doctor Gollipeck had thought to upset Vandeloup by this recital, he was never more mistaken in his life, for that young gentleman heard him coolly to the end, and taking the cigarette out of his mouth, smiled quietly.

Vandeloup, faultlessly dressed, and as cool and calm as possible, was also in Court; and Dr Gollipeck, as he awaited his turn to give evidence, could not help admiring the marvellous nerve and courage of the young man. The Government analyst being called, was sworn in the usual way, and deposed that the stomach of the deceased had been sent to him to be analysed.

'That or any book you like, said Vandeloup, with a glance of surprise; 'but I don't see why you are so much taken up with that volume; it is not a work of genius. 'Well, no, answered Gollipeck, looking at him; 'still, it contains some excellent cases of modern poisoning. 'So I saw when I read it, returned Vandeloup, indifferently.
