"But I think we ought to call the bills in," said Sylvia, uneasily. "That's not such an easy matter. They are scattered broadcast, and it will be next to impossible to collect them. Besides, the mischief is done. Everyone knows by this time that Aaron Norman is Lemuel Krill, so the trouble whatever it may be, must come." "What can it be?" asked the girl anxiously. Paul shook his head.
You are the daughter of a farmer." "I mentioned that fact myself." "Yes. But you didn't mention that your mother had been hanged for poisoning your father." Mrs. Krill turned ghastly pale. "No," she said in a suffocating voice, "such is the case; but can you wonder that I forebore to mention that fact? My daughter knows nothing of that nor did my husband "
However, he made some trivial excuse, not wishing to be too confidential, and begged Jessop to proceed. "Well, mate," said the captain, filling another glass of rum, "y'see the lady had come earlier and had been put to bed by the missus. I never saw her myself, being drinking in this very room along o' Krill.
I met Krill, as he wos then, some twenty-five year back by chance, as you may say" he cast a strange look at the detective, which the latter noted "yes, by chance, Mr. Hurd. I found he kep' the pub here, and this bein' no distance from Southampton I took to runnin' down here when the barkey was at anchor.
But there was such a scandal over the affair that my grandfather hushed it up. I can't say exactly what took place. But I know it happened at a small pub kept by a woman called Krill. Do you think this woman is the same?" "It's hardly likely," said Paul, mendaciously. "How could a woman who kept a small public house become suddenly rich?"
Krill to him in an undertone, "I know that from the way you spoke in Mr. Pash's office." "I was standing up for the rights of another." "You will be rewarded," she replied meaningly, but what she did mean Paul could not understand. The rest of the dinner passed off well enough, as the subject was changed. Lord George began to talk of racing, and Hay responded. Mrs. Krill alone seemed shocked.
We laid Krill's neck over the hole, and passed the wire round his neck and through the hole. Tray went down and tied a cross stick on the end of the wire, so that he could put his weight on it when we strangled " "Oh great heaven," moaned Sylvia, stopping her ears. Maud bent over her and pulled her hands away. "You shall hear you little beast," she snarled. "All the time Krill was sensible.
I wanted to buy it for Mrs. Krill, but Beecot would not sell it. When next I met him, he told me that Aaron Norman had fainted when he saw the brooch. I thought this odd, and informed Mrs. Krill. She described the man to me, and especially said that he had but one eye. I went with Beecot to the Gwynne Street shop, and a single glance told me that Aaron Norman was Lemuel Krill.
Krill, bless her, oh, yuss, Mrs. Krill, the sneakin', smiling Jezebel." "Did she see Sylvia?" asked Beecot, sharply. "Yuss, she did," admitted Deborah, "me lettin' her in not knowin' her scratchin's. An' the monkey an' the kitting come too a-spyin' out the land as you may say. W'en I 'eard the noos I 'owled Mr.
"I await her convenience," said Hurd, admiring the handsome looks of the young woman, although he plainly saw that she was as he phrased it "no chicken." After a few words Miss Krill rang the bell. "I want these things taken away," she said, pointing to a workbasket and some millinery with which she had been engaged when Hurd was announced, "then I shall leave you to speak to my mother."
