Strangeways, and I've had a good deal of talk with her lately, and I couldn't help suspecting you had a reason of your own for getting clear of her. Let me tell you, first of all, that she's left her house in Porchester Terrace. My belief is that she and her husband haven't a five-pound note between them. And the queer thing is, that this has come about since Redgrave's death.
As soon as she understood and believed the fact of Redgrave's death, it became the realisation of a hope which she had entertained without knowing it. Only by a great effort could she assume the look of natural concern; had she been in solitude, her face would have relaxed like that of one who is suddenly relieved from physical torment.
Alma stared at him, her parted lips quivering with an abortive laugh. 'Do you understand? She says that you were furiously jealous of Mrs Carnaby, and didn't care what you did to ruin her; that you put Redgrave's housekeeper up to telling Carnaby lies about his wife. 'How long has she been saying this? 'I heard it for the first time about two months ago. But let me go on.
'I know that! Hugh shouted rather than spoke. 'She was there with Mrs Fenimore Redgrave's sister and several other people. 'Yes; last summer. I caught sight of her as she was sitting in the veranda, and it amused me to think how little she suspected who was looking at her. But she has been there since. 'When? Mrs. Maskell consulted her memory, and indicated a day in the past winter.
Strangeways goes a good bit beyond it, as I know for certain. 'What is it to me? said Alma, with tremulous impatience. 'Why, this much. She is doing her best to harm you, and in a devilish artful way. She tries to make me believe and it's certain she says the same to others that what happened at Wimbledon was the result of a plot between you and Redgrave's housekeeper!
