Inspector Dawfield bade him good-day, and added the information that his companion was Detective Barrant, of Scotland Yard. Pengowan greeted Barrant with the respect due to the name of Scotland Yard, and took a humble seat at the back of the car. They went on again, and in a few minutes the car stopped at the end of the rough moor track, close to where the black cliffs dropped to the grey sea.
You'd better drop me at the churchtown on your way back to Penzance. There's really nothing to detain you any longer." They returned to the churchtown in the motor-car, and Pengowan from the back seat directed the way to Austin Turold's lodgings.
Pengowan tells me that Robert Turold secured lodgings for his brother and his son in an artist's house at the churchtown about six weeks ago. They arrived next day, and are still there. I understand that the brothers have been in pretty close intimacy, meeting each other practically every day, either at the churchtown or in this house."
It was some time before Pengowan arrived, and Thalassa and he removed the body a little later." Barrant looked disappointed at his reply. "Would it be possible to make marks on a corpse after that length of time?" he asked. "What sort of marks?" asked the doctor. "There was a mark of five fingers on the left arm, made by a left hand." "Then you have finger-prints to help you?" "Unfortunately no.
They may be here at any minute." He spoke a little breathlessly, as though with running, and seemed anxious to talk. He went on . "How did it happen? Tell me everything. I could get nothing out of Thalassa. He was detained at the police station for a considerable time, waiting for Pengowan, before he came to me with the news.
He knew all the facts that Inspector Dawfield and Sergeant Pengowan could impart. He knew of Robert Turold's long quest for the lost title, the object of his visit to Cornwall, his near attainment to success, his summons to his family to receive the news.
He got her away from the threshold, and pulled the broken door to, shutting out the spectacle within. "Are you going to leave him there like that?" whispered Mrs. Pendleton. "It is necessary, till the police have seen him," he assured her. "We had better send Thalassa in the car to the churchtown. Go for Sergeant Pengowan, Thalassa, and tell him to come at once.
