"Are you sure you've neither of you told anybody?" she asked, fixing her searching eyes upon each in turn. "Sure! Cross my heart!" declared Tim; and Davy nodded agreement. The wire door of the doctor's house swung open creakingly, and Mrs. Munn came slowly down the garden path.
"Tobey wears my shoes," said Brenner. Mrs. Brenner gasped. She advanced to Munn. "What you asking all these questions for?" she pleaded. Munn did not answer her. After a moment he asked. "Did you hear a scream this afternoon?" "Yes," she answered. "How long after the screaming did your son come in?" She hesitated. What was the best answer to make? Bewildered, she tried to decide.
He was holding something in his hand, but Mrs. Brenner could not see what it was. "You chop your wood with a short, heavy ax, don't you, Brenner?" said Munn. Brenner nodded. "It's marked with your name, isn't it?" Brenner nodded again. "Is this the ax?" Mrs. Brenner gave a short, sharp scream. Red and clotted, ever the handle marked with bloody spots, the ax was theirs.
It's got red hair, an' three other kinds. An' it's got four heads!" "What!" shrieked Mrs. Munn, shaken out of her accustomed indifference. "Arabella!
