Octagon," went on the lawyer deliberately, "would never have consented to Miss Saxon becoming engaged to you had not Miss Loach insisted that she should agree." "Seeing that Mrs. Octagon hated her sister and was not likely, to be influenced by her, I do not see how that can be." "Perhaps not. Nevertheless, such is the case. You saw how, when Miss Loach died, Mrs.
Supposing that person was Selina Loach, who hated Emilia for having taken Caranby from her. One of the gang released lately from prison may have killed the old lady out of revenge." "What! after all these years?"
"Now," went on Jennings, "it may be that Maraquito hired someone to kill Miss Loach and is trying to put the blame on you so that she may entangle you in her net. It will be either the gallows or marriage with you. Of course she could not kill the woman herself, but her aunt, Mrs. Herne " "She was out of the house an hour before the blow was struck."
"I thought you said Lord Caranby loved Miss Loach?" "No, I didn't. I said she could have married him had she played her cards properly. But she didn't, and Lord Caranby went away. The lady who died was a friend of missus, and they were always together. I think missus and she were jealous of Lord Caranby, both loving him.
"I am sure you agree with me, Yeo, that it is unnecessary to make the contents public. My uncle is dead." "Even were he still alive, I should advise you to say nothing," replied Yeo, grimly; "the woman deserved her fate, even though it was an accident. She destroyed Caranby's life. He would have married Selina Loach and have been a happy man but for her." "There I think you wrong her.
But I know he is in debt to Hale he hinted as much the other day. I would say nothing of this to you, but that I know he counts on your paying his debts. I tell you, Juliet, it is wrong for you to do so." "How do you know I can?" she asked. "I know nothing," said Cuthbert doggedly, "not even if you have inherited the money of Miss Loach." "I have inherited it.
"I think Mrs. Pill is very wise. I hope she and Thomas will do well. By the way, what do you think of Mr. Barnes?" Susan did not leave him long in doubt as to her opinion. "I think he is a stupid fool," she said, "and it's a good thing Mrs. Pill is going to marry him. He was guided by Miss Loach all his life, and now she's dead, he goes about like a gaby.
Barnes, do you know if Miss Loach had a secret entrance to this room?" "Lor no, sir," cried the woman, casting a surprised glance round, "whatever would she 'ave that for, pore dear?" "The furniture is oddly placed," said Twining. And indeed it was. The floor was covered with a Turkey carpet down the centre, but the sides of the floor were without covering. Mrs. Barnes explained this.
"For the murder of Miss Loach." "It is not true it is not true," gasped Juliet. "Oh, Peggy, what does it all mean? How do you come to know ?" "Because I'm engaged to Miles Jennings." "The detective! The man who behaved so badly to me?" "I don't know what you call behaving badly," said Miss Garthorne in an offended way. "Miles wishes to help you out of your difficulties, and you will not allow him.
Quite spoilt our game of ah, here's Susan. Off with you, Clancy. I wish to be alone." The man would have spoken, but Miss Loach silenced him with a sharp gesture and pointed to the door. In silence he went upstairs with Susan, and in silence left the house. It was a fine night, and Susan stopped for a moment at the door to drink in the fresh air.
