After long consultation Krail having been removed in custody back to the village it was agreed that the only charges that could be substantiated against Flockart were those of complicity in the ingenious attempt upon Hamilton's life by which poor Miss Bryant had been sacrificed, and also in the theft of Sir Henry's papers. But was it worth while?
By this time Krail had hurried on, and could obtain no glimpse of what was in progress owing to the sharp bend of the river. After considerable splashing Hamilton urging her to remain calm he succeeded in bringing her to land, where they both struggled up the bank dripping wet and more or less exhausted.
You were a few yards off, awaiting him; therefore you knew his intentions, and you are as guilty of that girl's tragic death as he." "What!" cried Flockart, his eyes glaring angrily, "do you declare, then, that I am a murderer?" "You yourself are the best judge of your own guilt," answered Hamilton meaningly. "I deny that Krail or myself had any hand in the affair."
The very name caused him to clench his hands. Fortunately, he knew the truth, therefore that dastardly attempt upon the girl's life should not go unpunished. As he sat there chatting with her, admiring her refinement and innate daintiness, he made a vow within himself to seek out that cowardly fugitive and meet him face to face. Felix Krail!
Hamilton the man who held a secret of hers, and who only a few hours before had rescued her from the peril in which Felix Krail had placed her again recurred to her. Was it not remarkable that he, Walter's old friend, should come down into that neighbourhood? There was some motive in his visit! What could it be?
She's out a good deal, rambling alone across the country with a collie belonging to a neighbouring farmer. She's the very picture of sadness, poor little girl!" "You seem to sympathise with her, Krail. Why, does she not stand between us and fortune?"
The pair were standing together in earnest conversation, the man facing him, the girl with her back turned. "What does this mean?" gasped Hamilton aloud. "What can this secret meeting mean? Why yes, I'm certainly not mistaken it's Krail Felix Krail, by all that's amazing!"
Gabrielle, who had been weeping at the knees of her father, heard the whirr of the car coming up the drive; and, springing to the window, witnessed the arrival of the party. A moment later, Krail, between the two constables, and with the local inspector standing respectfully at the rear, stood in the big, long library into which the blind man was led by his daughter.
"I must admit, Krail, that what you say is true," declared the well-dressed man. "You are such a philosopher always! I asked you to come here in secret to explain the exact position." "It is one of peril. We are checkmated. Goslin holds the whole position in his hands, and will keep it."
He was standing on the kerb. He saw me. His name is Krail Felix Krail!" "Is he still there?" cried the men, as with one accord they left their chairs and dashed eagerly across to the window. "Krail!" cried the Russian in alarm. "Where is he?" "See!" the Italian pointed out, "see the man in black yonder, standing there near the kiosque, smoking a cigarette. He is still watching.
