As for Dimambro, he went home to the hotel at which he was stopping a little place called the Ravenna, in Soho, an Italian house next morning, first thing, he cashed his cheque, and before noon he left for the Continent. He had not heard of the murder of Jacob Herapath when he left London, and he did not hear of it until next day. I think I have given Mr.
"Let me in," he said, trying to push the door open. "Awfully sorry; can't come in," said Dig cheerfully. "Herapath and I are having a scrub up. Come again presently." "Do you hear me, you two? Let me in at once." "Don't you hear, we're doing the place up?" said Arthur. "Go to some of the other chaps if you want a job done."
"Everybody in the house might be in bed," observed Selwood, "but not everybody might be asleep. Have you made any inquiry as to whether anybody heard Mr. Herapath moving about in the night, or leaving the house? Somebody may have heard the hall door opened and closed, you know."
He had no objection, as he confided to his friend and comforter, Arthur Herapath, Esquire, to the Master of the Shell entertaining his own opinions as to the character of the personage in question. Sir Digby, indeed, deserved some little commiseration. He had come up to Grandcourt this term pledged to the hilt to work hard and live virtuously.
"First, that Jacob Herapath drew five thousand pounds in hundred pound notes at three o'clock on the day of his death. Second, that at some hour of that day he drew a cheque in favour of one Luigi Dimambro, which cheque was cashed as soon as the bank opened next morning." "Frankly," observed Mr. Halfpenny, "frankly, candidly, Cox-Raythwaite, I do not see what these things facts prove."
If Railsford asks where I am, tell him I'm walking home. You can go with him on the tandem. I'll be home as soon as you." At the same moment a shout from below of "Herapath!" "Oakshott!" still further hastened Dig's descent to terra firma. "Come on," said Railsford, who was already seated on the tricycle, "it's coming on to rain. Where's Herapath?" "Oh, he's walking home.
But I'll tell you you must listen with your usual meticulous care for small details. The truth is Jacob Herapath has, I am sure, been murdered!" "Murdered!" exclaimed the Professor. "Herapath? Murder eh? Now then, slow and steady, Tertius leave out nothing!" "Nothing!" repeated Mr. Tertius solemnly. "Nothing! You shall hear all.
If the doctor was right and Jacob Herapath had been shot dead at midnight, how on earth could he possibly have been in Portman Square at one o'clock, an hour later? Mr. Tertius, dismissed in such cavalier fashion by Barthorpe Herapath, walked out of the estate office with downcast head a superficial observer might have said that he was thoroughly crestfallen and brow-beaten.
Reprehensible, no doubt, gentlemen, but we all have to live, and besides, Barthorpe promised me that he'd treat Miss Wynne most handsomely. Well, that procedure was settled with the result that we're all aware of. And now I'd like to ask Mr. Davidge there a question as I'm about to tell him who the real murderer of Jacob Herapath was, perhaps he'll answer it.
From it at once descended an elderly gentleman, short, stout, and rosy, who bustled up the steps of the Herapath mansion and appeared to fume and fret until his summons was responded to. When the door was opened to him he bustled inside at the same rate, rapped out the inquiry, "Miss Wynne at home?
