If my theory be correct, it is rather a simple case, although it appears complicated. We will accept the doctor's statement that the man had been murdered that day, and not on the previous night. He was done to death, therefore, during the morning probably, when for some reason he had visited the tent, and for some reason had put on his pierrot's dress.
"Once for all, I decline to believe such theatrical rubbish! A beard, indeed! Why not a paper nose and a Pierrot's cap?" "Why not?" acquiesced placid Bingo, getting into bed. But the eye concealed by the pillow winked; for he had told her the absolute truth; and woman-like, that was just what she wouldn't swallow, as he said to Beauvayse next morning.
He approached each of Pierrot's traps and the deadfalls cautiously, and twice he showed his fangs once at a marten that snapped at him from under a root where it had dragged the trap in which it was caught, and the second time at a big snowy owl that had come to steal bait and was now a prisoner at the end of a steel chain.
Out on the white surface of a lake he sniffed at a snowy mound under which lay the body of a red fox killed by one of Pierrot's poison baits. Both the lynx and the fishercat were alive, and the steel chains of their traps clanked sharply as they prepared to give Baree battle. But Baree was uninterested. He hurried on, his uneasiness growing as the day darkened and he found no sign of the Willow.
The ladies dress here and go down with cloaks over their costumes." Quarles undid a small brown paper parcel I had wondered what he had brought with him and produced the pierrot's hat. "That is Henley's, I suppose?" Watson looked at it. "Undoubtedly. There is an 'H' in it, you see. We all put our initial in like that so that we should know our own."
We will be away by sundown, and there is something you must know before I go." Baree saw them there, close together in the shadows thrown by the tall spruce trees. He heard the low murmur of their voices chiefly of Pierrot's, and at last he saw Nepeese put her two arms up around the man-beast's neck, and then Pierrot went away again into the forest.
No, that was not like Pierrot's voice! A chill ran through McTaggart now, and slowly he let go of Nepeese. She fell to the floor. Slowly he straightened. "Is it not true, m'sieu?" said Pierrot again. "I have come in time?" What power was it what great fear, perhaps, that made McTaggart nod his head, that made his thick lips form huskily the words, "Yes in time." And yet it was not fear.
The storm had increased to a gale, wailing and moaning over the cabin outside, and the sound carried him back to the last night in the cabin far to the south, when he had destroyed the hyacinth-scented letter. The thought of the letter moved him restlessly. He listened to Pierrot's breathing, and knew that the half-breed was asleep. Then he rose to his feet and laid his pipe on the table.
So it turned out, through Pierrot himself and without telling his reason for it that Baree did not become a sledge dog. He was allowed his freedom, and was never tied, like the others. Nepeese was glad, but did not guess the thought that was in Pierrot's mind. To himself Pierrot chuckled. She would never know why he kept Baree always suspicious of him, even to the point of hating him.
We amused ourselves in talking over past dangers, Pierrot's disguise, and the ball at Briati, where she had been told that another Pierrot had made his appearance. M M wondered at the extraordinary effect of a disguise, for, said she to me: "The Pierrot in the parlour of the convent seemed to me taller and thinner than you.
