The inspector turned and faced him. "Isaac Lalonde," he said, "I have a warrant for your arrest. I shall want you to come with me to Bow Street." With the certainty of danger, Isaac's fear seemed to vanish into thin air. He saw the open door of his ransacked inner room and the piled-up heap of weapons upon the table.
"Look here," he asked hoarsely, "if you knew all these things, if you knew that Isaac Lalonde had committed this murder, why do you go about with your lips closed? Why haven't you told the truth? An innocent man might be arrested at any time." Sabatini smiled tolerantly. "My dear fellow," he said, "why should I? Be reasonable! When you reach my age you will find that silence is often best.
Weatherley rose hastily from his chair. "God bless my soul!" he declared. "I didn't know you didn't tell me " "Miss Lalonde has been a great sufferer," Arnold said. "She has been obliged to spend a good deal of her time lying down. For that reason, to-day has been such a pleasure to her." He hurried forward and took the butler's place. Together they installed her in the most comfortable chair. Mr.
Would you like some books or magazines, Miss Lalonde, or do you think you would care to come with us if we helped you very carefully?" Ruth shook her head. "I should like to sit quite close to the river," she said shyly, "just where you said, and close my eyes.
I know very little of Isaac, although I see him here sometimes." "I should like to know your name, if you have no objection," the inspector remarked. "My name is Chetwode," Arnold told him. "I occupy a room on the other side of the passage." "When did you last see Isaac Lalonde?" Arnold did not hesitate for a moment. What he had seen at Hampstead belonged to himself.
Lalonde fired at them when he made his escape." Sabatini sighed. "It is a small world," he admitted. "I know all about Isaac Lalonde, but I am very sorry indeed to hear that the young lady is connected with him. She seemed I hope you will forgive me to speak as though she lived in straitened circumstances. Do you mind telling me whether this event is likely to prove of inconvenience to her?"
Then, afterwards, you will have a ride back to London in the cool air. Either my brother will take you, or we will send a car from here." "It is a charming idea," Sabatini said. "Miss Lalonde, you will not be unkind?" She hesitated only for a moment. They saw her glance at her frock, the little feminine struggle, and the woman's conquest.
"I am perfectly certain," Arnold declared, vigorously, "that if there has been anything irregular in her uncle's life, Miss Lalonde knew nothing of it. We both knew that he talked wildly, but, for the rest, his doings have been as much a mystery to her as to me." The sergeant was summoned by one of his subordinates. The two men stood whispering together for a few moments.
The night Rosario was there it was different. They were on his track then, without a doubt, and they meant mischief. Since then, however, there has been a pronounced difference of opinion between the two branches of the revolutionary party the one which I represent and the one which includes Lalonde and his friends.
"The care of Ruth Lalonde is upon my shoulders," he insisted. "There can be no question about that. From me it is not charity, for she shared her meals with me when I was practically starving. I am going to ask you more questions." "Proceed, by all means," Sabatini invited. "Was Starling concerned at all in this Rosario affair?" "Not directly," Sabatini admitted.
