"Unless we want another tragedy," the doctor said, "this woman must be put to bed and taken care of. She has been terribly exposed. You've heard her. She's delirious." "Not so delirious that she hasn't told the truth," Paredes said. The doctor lifted her in his arms and with Rawlins's help carried her upstairs. Katherine went with them. Almost immediately the doctor and Rawlins hurried down.

I thought at the grave, if I were alone, something might expose itself that had naturally remained hidden in the presence of so many materialistic human beings." A smile spread over Rawlins's cold, unimaginative features. "That sounds well, Mr. Paredes, and there is a lot about this case that looks like ghosts, but leave us a few flesh-and-blood clues.

The fact that the defence was quite as extraordinarily indebted to circumstantial evidence as the prosecution in no way detracted from the character of Lorne's personal triumph; rather, indeed, in the popular view and Rawlins's, enhanced it.

"Keep quiet!" she cried hysterically. "Don't speak to me again. I hate you! Do you understand?" Graham drew back. "Why, Katherine " "Don't," she said. "Don't call me that." The officers glanced at Graham with frank bewilderment. Rawlins's materialistic mind didn't hesitate to express its first thought: "Must say, I always thought you were sweet on the lady." "Hartley!" Bobby said.

Rawlins had clearly been unsuccessful at the work table. He glided to the bureau. One after the other he opened the drawers, fumbling within, lifting the contents out, replacing them with a rough haste while Bobby's futile rage increased. Suddenly he saw Graham's attitude alter. Rawlins's back stiffened. He pulled the bottom drawer altogether from the bureau and thrust it to one side.

They wanted the man who had killed Silas Blackburn principally because it was certain he had also killed their friend. Rawlins's words, moreover, suggested that Howells must have telephoned a pretty clear outline of the case. Robinson stared at them insolently. "This is Doctor Groom, I know. Which is young Mr. Blackburn?" Bobby stepped forward.
