They were the principals in a quarrel of the most vivid, satanic, and incurable sort known to anthropological science the family quarrel and the existence of this feud was a proof of the indisputable truth that it sometimes takes less than two to make a quarrel. For, though Owen Hugo was not absolutely an angel, Ravengar had made it single-handed.
And he wished ardently to understand a hundred and one other things concerning Camilla, Tudor, and Ravengar, and the permutations and combinations of these three, which offered apparently insoluble problems to his brain.
You are getting accustomed to the unpleasant prospect of not dying in your bed surrounded by inconsolable dependants. 'Hugo, Ravengar began persuasively, 'you must be aware that all these suspicions of yours are a figment of your excited brain. You must be aware that I never meant to murder you. 'My dear fellow, Hugo replied with calm bitterness, 'I don't intend to murder you.
Catherine Pounds will bring you a note to say that if you have any scruples, you are to listen to the phonographic records in the safe; if not, you are to destroy the phonographic records. Do I seem gay, Polycarp? I ought to be. I have carried through my scheme. I have outwitted Ravengar. I have saved Camilla from death at his hands.
There is something simple and grand about a straightforward murder I shall prove to you soon that I do not always regard murder as a crime but to murder a man amid circumstances of shame, to finish him off while making him look a fool that is the act of a of a Ravengar. Ravengar yawned and glanced at his watch. 'It's nearly my dinner-time, said he.
I felt that Ravengar, what with disappointed love, and jealousy, and fear of the consequences of a past crime, had developed into a sort of monomaniac in respect to Camilla. I felt he was capable of anything. I should not have been surprised if he had hired a room opposite to us on the other side of that narrow street, and directed a fusillade upon Camilla.
Ravengar stared at the face; and then, by means of putting a chair on a table and lifting Powitt on to the chair, he tied up the cord which he had cut, and left the poor old man to swing again. It was an an interrupted suicide. She stopped once more, and Hugo fervently wished he had never asked her to begin. He gazed at her set face with a fascinated glance.
'Since Ravengar is dead and all danger passed, there is no reason why you should not know everything that is to be known. Well, Mr. Hugo, I have had an infinity of trouble with that girl. Hugo's expression gave pause to the doctor. 'I mean with Mrs. Tudor, he added correctively. 'I'll begin at the beginning. After the disappearance the typhoid disappearance, you know she went to Algiers.
He laughed. Of course, I left him. It is my belief that Mr. Ravengar was always a little mad. If he was not so before, this affair had strained his intelligence too much. 'You did a very wrong thing, said Hugo, 'in keeping silence. 'Put yourself in my place, Camilla answered. 'Think of all the facts. It was all so queer, And and Mr. Ravengar had found me in the room with young Powitt.
'I mean to put you to the same test to which you put me. You arranged that I should spend twenty-two hours in a vault without ventilation. At the end of five hours I was by no means dead. I might have survived the twenty-two. But, frankly, I don't fancy I should. And I don't fancy you will. In fact, I'm convinced that you won't. 'Indeed! said Ravengar uncertainly.
