The police argue that this conspiracy to murder Jacob Herapath and upset the will was in existence before November 12th in other words that the idea of upsetting the will came first, and that the murder arose out of it.
He would do his duty he would go and see Jacob Herapath buried, but he would also continue his attempt to find out how it was that that burial came to be. And as he turned into the cemetery and stared at its weird collection of Christian and pagan monuments he breathed a fervent prayer to the Goddesses of Chance and Fortune to give him what he called "another look-in."
More than this, I have an idea. May not this man Dimambro be the man who called on Jacob Herapath at the House of Commons that night the man whom Mountain saw, but did not recognize as one of his master's usual friends or acquaintances? Do you see that point?" Mr. Tertius and Selwood muttered expressions of acquiescence, but Mr. Halfpenny shook his head. "Can't see anything much in it," he said.
Once Selwood had gained a peep into that ground-floor room, and had seen that it was filled with books, and that its table was crowded with papers, and he had formed the notion that Mr. Tertius was some book-worm or antiquary, to whom Jacob Herapath for some reason or other gave house-room.
Now, I'll lay a pound to a penny that Barthorpe hasn't a ghost of a notion that he's already under suspicion. My idea of the affair, sir, is that he has not the mere phantasm of such a thing. And yet, from now, as our friend there observed, Master Barthorpe, sir, will be watched. Shadowed, Tertius, shadowed!" Barthorpe Herapath certainly had none of the notions of which Mr. Halfpenny spoke.
And Barthorpe Herapath laughed a low, sneering laugh and following the other men into the waiting-room, locked the door upon those assembled there. As if he and they were assembled on some cut-and-dried business matter, he waved them all to chairs, and himself dropped into one at the head of the table, close to that in which Peggie was sitting.
Outside Triffitt gave his companion's arm a confidential squeeze. "Things are going well!" he said. "I wasn't a bit surprised at what that fellow told me I expected it. What charms me is that Barthorpe Herapath, who is certainly to be strongly suspected, is in touch with Burchill I didn't tell you that I met him on the stairs at Calengrove Mansions this afternoon.
Halfpenny nodded and muttered a word or two back before he turned to Barthorpe. "Even supposing mind, I only say supposing even supposing you are correct in all you say and I don't know that you are," he said, "what you have put before us does nothing to prove that the will which we have just inspected is not what we believe it to be we, at any rate the valid will of Jacob Herapath.
It is my opinion, Halfpenny I offer it with all deference, as a layman that great, excessive caution is necessary. This case is extraordinary very extraordinary. That is in my opinion." "It's an extraordinary thing that Jacob Herapath should have made that will," murmured Mr. Halfpenny reflectively. "Why Barthorpe should be entirely ignored is to me marvellous. And it may be significant.
And eventually a few days ago I come into touch with Dimambro, who had returned to England. As I said before, we had met during the time I was secretary to Jacob Herapath. Dimambro, when I met him accidentally was on his way to the police, to tell them what he knew. I stopped him he told his story to me instead. I told him mine.
