Also this person found that Anne Tyler married a sailor called Jarvey Jessop some years before she committed bigamy with Lemuel Krill in Beechill Church " "It's a lie!" screamed Mrs. Krill, losing her self-control. "How dare you come here with these falsehoods?"
Krill without recollecting the name. There was a great fuss made about it at the time." "Oh, I can understand Lord George," said Beecot, promptly. "The murder, if it is one, took place before he was born, and as there seems to have been some scandal in the matter, the family hushed it up.
Krill spoke she glanced towards a gorgeous tapestry curtain at the end of the room, and Hurd fancied he saw it shake. It suddenly occurred to him that Maud was behind. Why she should choose this secret way of listening when she could have remained it was difficult to say, and he half thought he was mistaken.
I know how that is to be done," ended Miss Krill, with a cruel smile and a flash of her white, hungry-looking teeth; "you rat of a girl " "Leave the room." "When I please, not before. You listen to me. I'm going to tell you about the murder " "Oh," said Sylvia, turning pale, "what do you mean?" "Listen," said the other, with a taunting laugh, "you'll be white enough before I've done with you.
"Miss Jessop can come out," said Hurd, coolly, "and, as to your not coming, a few policemen will soon put that right." "How dare you insult me and my daughter?" "Come, come," said the detective, sternly, "I've had quite enough of this. You offered me one thousand pounds to learn who killed your so-called husband, Krill. I have earned the reward " "Not one shilling shall you have."
"That your daughter should have all this money," interpolated Beecot. "My daughter and I are one," replied Mrs. Krill, calmly; "when I speak for myself, I speak for her. But, as I say, it doesn't seem right we should be in affluence and Miss Norman in poverty. So I propose to allow her five hundred a year on conditions. Will she accept, do you think, Mr. Beecot?"
But Mrs. Krill might have strangled her husband so as to get the money." "What makes you think she did?" asked Aurora, doubtfully. "Well, you see, from what Jessop says, Mrs. Krill is devotedly attached to Maud, and she may have been anxious to revenge her daughter on Krill. He acted like a brute and fastened the child's lips together, so Mrs. Krill treated him in the same way."
"They are not falsehoods, Anne Tyler, alias Anne Jessop, alias Anne Krill, etc.," retorted Hurd, speaking rapidly and emphasizing his remarks with his finger in his usual fashion when in deadly earnest. "You were married to Jessop in Stowley Church; you bore him a daughter who was christened Maud Jessop in Stowley Church.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Grexon, fiercely. "Oh, he doesn't mean anything," said Miss Qian, sweetly, and putting her cloak round her. "Mr. Beecot, just take me to my cab." "I'll take you to your carriage," said Hay, offering an arm to Mrs. Krill, which she accepted graciously. Lord George followed, grumbling, with the ever-smiling Maud.
From the strange circumstances of the crime I am inclined to think that there is more than one person concerned in this matter. However, the best thing to be done is to have hand-bills printed offering the five hundred pounds reward. People will do a lot to earn so much money, and someone may come forward with details about Mr. Krill which will solve the mystery of Norman's death."
