In the silence that followed, Spargo, who had been making notes of what Myerst said, suddenly dropped his pencil and thrusting his hands in his pockets sat bolt upright with a look which Breton, who was watching him seriously, could not make out. It was the look of a man whose ideas and conceptions are being rudely upset. And Myerst, too, saw it and he laughed, more sneeringly than ever.
"Untie his right arm, Spargo," he continued. "I think we can give him that liberty. We've got his revolver, anyhow." For a while the three men ate and drank in silence. At last Myerst pushed his plate away. He looked scrutinizingly at his two captors. "Look here!" he said. "You think you know a lot about all this affair, Spargo, but there's only one person who knows all about it. That's me!"
You've tortured and tormented him to his death with that charge, as you're torturing me among you. I tell you he'd nothing to do with John Maitland's death nothing!" Myerst laughed. "Who had, then?" he said. "Hold your tongue!" commanded Breton, turning angrily on him. He sat down by Elphick's side and laid his hand soothingly on the old man's arm.
Spargo, you'll gather, is deeply interested in this matter and he and I, in our different capacities, are working together. So you understand?" Myerst regarded Spargo in a new light. And while he was so looking at him. Spargo repeated the question he had just put. "I said What did you say to that?" Myerst hesitated. "Well er I don't think I said anything," he replied.
"Have I? How do you know they didn't entrust me with these cheques as their agent?" exclaimed Myerst. "Answer me that! Or, rather, let them answer if they dare. Here you, Cardlestone, you Elphick didn't you give me these cheques as your agent? Speak up now, and quick!"
Myerst, eyeing his companions with keen glances. "I consider that, gentlemen, a very remarkable remark very remarkable!" Rathbury stuck his thumbs in the armholes of his waistcoat again and began swaying backwards and forwards in his chair. He looked at Spargo.
