She hinted that she guessed who killed the poor lady. I never knew Miss Loach myself," added Mr. Octagon, seating himself and ruffling his scanty locks, a habit with him when perplexed, "but you said you liked her." "Yes, Aunt Selina was always very nice to me.
She gave it to Miss Loach, and Susan Grant falling in love with your face, took possession of it. It was found in her trunk." "Yes yes, that's it!" cried Mallow, catching at a straw. "I did give the photograph to Juliet, and no doubt she gave it to her aunt. It would be easy for this girl to take it. Though why she should steal it," said Cuthbert perplexed, "I really can't say!"
"There's a connection between the two," said Jennings, obstinately; "it's impossible to say how the connection comes about, but I feel that a discovery in one case entails a discovery in the other. If I can prove that Miss Loach was killed by one of the old coiners " "What will happen then?" "I may stumble on the factory that is in existence now."
"Perhaps missus has gone to walk in the garding," said cook, "she do that at times." "Did you show 'ern out?" asked Thomas, looking at Susan. "Only Mr. Clancy," she answered, "the others had gone before. I heard what Miss Loach was saying. Mr. Clancy had quarrelled with Mrs. Herne and she had gone away with Mr. Hale. Then Miss Loach gave it to him hot and sent him away. She's all alone."
But I do not see how Emilia hoped that the substitution would pass undiscovered by Selina's friends, to say nothing of her father." "The idea was that Emilia, as Selina, should go abroad and return to England in a few years. Owing to the unexpected death of Mr. Loach, the father, the substitution was easy.
Jennings had not seen them since the inquest on the body of Miss Loach, when they had given their evidence with great grief and frankness. He was annoyed at meeting them here, for although he had seen them in Maraquito's salon before, yet at that time they had not known his profession.
You know how Isabella alone appeared at the inquest, and how Selina really my aunt pretended to be sick. Then the two went abroad and came back; Emilia as Miss Loach went to Rose Cottage, and Isabella married Mr. Saxon." "But why did Emilia take Selina's name and " "Because Emilia was in danger of being arrested along with her mother and brother for coining. You could not have saved her.
I am not aware how much Juliet knows of your wickedness, Basil, but " "She knows only about the forgery. I was not at the cottage." Mallow made a weary gesture. "Why do you tell these falsehoods?" he said with scorn. "Juliet entered the cottage by means of her latch-key. She found Miss Loach dead and the knife on the floor. You dropped it there. He had on alight overcoat my overcoat.
If I can only get some of them to tell the truth we might find the other places." "Hale wants to confess." "Yes. But I fancy it is about the murder of Miss Loach. She was apparently killed to ensure the safety of this den. We must root the coiners out, Atkins.
Her sharp eyes followed Susan about the room as she waited, and at the end of the dinner she made her first observation. "You know your work I see," she said. "I hope you will be happy here!" "I think I will, ma'am," said Susan, with a faint sigh. "You have had trouble?" asked Miss Loach quickly. "Yes, ma'am!" "You must tell me about it to-morrow," said the old lady rising.
