My girl brought him up his tea at five to-day; and as he was pouring of it out, he fell down in a faint, or a fit, or a compound of both, for anything I know. We could not bring him to and I said he was dead. And the doctor couldn't bring him to and the doctor said he was dead. And there he is. And the Coroner's inquest's coming as soon as it can. And that's as much as I know about it.
I'm innocent, and I'll be able to prove it in time. But Marjorie mustn't be left alone. I'd be ready to face anything if I knew that she was safe. She mustn't be left in that house not a single night. Promise me that you'll take her with you as soon as the inquest's over!"

She rose, and, pulling her veil down over her pale face, followed him obediently. Down the stone staircase they went, and through the big, now empty, room downstairs.
"Young Pryder, he told me this afternoon that his father, when he came home to dinner to-day, said to him and his mother that when the inquest's reopened to-morrow there's be something to talk about somebody, said Sergeant Pryder, would have something to talk of before the day was over. So there you are!" "I suppose old Pryder didn't tell young Pryder any more than that?" suggested Brent.
"My junior waiter, unfortunately, who was asleep in the sitting-room, told them he was sure there were customers in the place between ten and twelve on Monday night, because they woke him up twice, talking. They're beginning to look at me a bit doubtful." "I shouldn't worry," Laverick advised. "The inquest's on now and you haven't been called. I don't fancy you're running any sort of risk.
