Her love for him he would never know; now he knew only her crime, but presently, when she would be convicted and condemned, confronted with a few scraps of burned paper and a torn letter-case, then he would know that she had stood her trial, self-accused, and meant to die for him. Therfore the past few moments were now wholly hers.
"After all, why are you here?" Willoughby took a letter-case from his breast, opened it with deliberation, and shook out from one of its pockets into the palm of his hand a tiny, soiled, white feather. He held it out to Ethne. "I have come to give you this." Ethne did not take it. In fact, she positively shrank from it. "Why?" she asked unsteadily.
The comedy could not be kept up through another visit from them, and while the compromising letter-case remained in Deroulede's private study he was in imminent danger at the hands of his enemy. She thought for a moment of concealing the case about her person, but a second's reflection showed her the futility of such a move.
The Castilian's body is lying in the tower at the Hohenort Gate. These are the papers we found in the dead man's doublet, and this is his ring; he has a proud escutcheon." Peter Van der Werff took the dead man's letter-case in his hand, looked through it and said: "His name was Don Luis d Avila."
He leapt from his chair, and going to the door called to the detective to enter. "News?" he asked excitedly, when Mrs. Marlow had retired, closing the door again. "What is it important?"

Starmidge bowed and went out and straight back to Polke. He handed him the cheque and the letter-case. "Lock 'em up!" he said. "Now then, listen! You can do all that's necessary about that inquest. I'm off to town. Sit down, and I'll tell you why. And what I tell you, keep to yourself."
He scrutinized the slips of paper very closely, then tucked them away in a letter-case, which he buttoned up in his hip pocket. "Fortune is a strange goddess, Des," he said, his weary eyes roving out over the turgid, yellow stream, "and she has been kind to you, though, God knows, you have played a man's part in all this.
I told her how I had slept with the green letter-case under my pillow, and had waked to feel and look for it once or twice an hour. How when morning came I had been late in getting to the train: how I had struggled with the two men who tried to keep me out of the reserved compartment into which they were intruding.
She had found him, and not even now not after those terrible weeks of misery and suffering unspeakable could she feel that love had triumphed over the wild, adventurous spirit, the reckless enthusiasm, the ardour of self-sacrifice. It seems that in the pocket of Heron's coat there was a letter-case with some few hundred francs.
'And from Martin, the other amended coolly. 'He was told the same thing. With a sudden movement of his head Trent seemed to dismiss the subject. He drew from his breast-pocket a letter-case, and thence extracted two small leaves of clean, fresh paper. 'Just look at these two slips, Mr Marlowe, he said. 'Did you ever see them before?
