I could not look to have my whim indulged; perhaps had there seemed a chance of fulfilment I should have turned coward. Yet I do not know; the love of truth has been a constant and strong passion in my mind. Hence come my laborious trackings of it through mazes of moods and feelings; painful trifling, I daresay. But my whim was accomplished; why and under what motive's spur it is hard to guess.
"You are so dotingly fond of your daughter!" said the Major with a leer. "It is necessary that I should give her a present." "Precisely, and you won't even trust the business to a jeweller; you insist on doing it all yourself." "I shall do it for less money than a jeweller." "Oh, of course," answered Major Vernon; "the motive's as clear as daylight."
Her voice was much softer as she said: "I think I must stay here. Thank you, just the same." As soon as Sam and I were alone, I apologized. "I hope you'll tell your sister I'm sorry for that break," said I. "Oh, that's all right," he answered, easy again, now that we were away from the others. "You meant well and motive's the thing." "Motive hell!" cried I in my anger at myself.
"The motive's what you must look to in these cases, sir. Now, where's Mr. Dunbar's motive for murdering this man Wilmot?" "The secret that Joseph Wilmot possessed " "Bah, my dear sir! Henry Dunbar could afford to buy all the secrets that ever were kept. Secrets are like every other sort of article: they're only kept to sell. Good morning."
But, when sent with a good motive, I really don't see the harm in them." "Nor I neither," said the coroner. "It strikes me they're correct enough when the motive's a good 'un." "But, your Honor, when an anonymous letter is full of lies and slanders, I respectfully submit that it is a piece of cowardly malice, which the law ought to punish with the utmost severity."
