But, my dear, remember, thou art now a De Malpas. Thou shouldst try to forget thine unfortunate connection with that low race. They are not thy people any longer." Beatrice looked up, with flashing eyes from which some stronger feeling than sorrow had suddenly driven back the tears.
Number Five study went to second lesson with not more than half a pound of camphor apiece in their clothing; and King, too wary to ask for explanations, gibbered a while and hurled them forth. So Beetle finished yet another poem at peace in the study. "They're usin' carbolic now. Malpas told me," said Stalky. "King thinks it's the drains." "She'll need a lot o' carbolic," said McTurk.
"'Twas that wanton at Malpas was the cause of all," he complained. And Sir Oliver's eye flashed at the words. "I deemed her quite other; I was a fool, a fool! I" he choked, and a sob shook him "I thought she loved me. I would have married her, I would so, by God." Sir Oliver swore softly under his breath. "I believed her pure and good, and...." He checked.
Malpas was startled at first, but she soon perceived that what Lemuel had done was exactly what the brilliant and enterprising Lemuel might have been expected to do. She jerked up her doll's head, and ejaculated, 'So much the better!
"Do you know where she lives?" pursued the detective, ignoring the implied question. "She's dead." A flicker of interest appeared for an instant in Mr. Manderton's keen eyes. "You're sure of that?" "Certainly," answered Robin. "Who told you?" "Le Hagen the solicitor, you know. He acted for this Malpas woman on one or two occasions." "When did she die?" "Six or seven months ago ..."

Malpas's father died, and Mrs. Malpas became the absolute mistress of eight thousand pounds. Lemuel had carefully foreseen this windfall, and wished to use the money in enterprises of the earthenware trade. Mrs. Malpas, pretty and vivacious, with a self-conceit hardened by the adulation of saloon-bars, very decidedly thought otherwise.
There was the matter of that wound, and there was something still more unanswerable he feared I might have urged. There was a certain woman a wanton up at Malpas who could have been made to speak, who could have revealed a rivalry concerning her betwixt the slayer and your brother. For the affair in which Peter Godolphin met his death was a pitifully, shamefully sordid one at bottom."
He saw a light spring into being in a room overlooking Piccadilly, a room boasting a handsome balcony. This took place some two minutes after the departure of the lift bearing Sir Brian and his guest upward; so that Sowerby permitted himself to conclude that the room with the balcony belonged to Sir Brian Malpas.
"Lady, can you not trust her in His hands who gave His Only One for her salvation?" One evening about this time, Levina came up with the news that Abraham of Norwich wished to see the Damoiselle de Malpas. Her words were civil enough, but her tone never was when she spoke to Beatrice; and on this occasion she put an emphasis on the name, which was manifestly not intended to be flattering.
