"That's so," agreed Tom. "But it won't do any harm to tell the hotel detective that suspicious characters are around, no matter if the has been committed. Then he can be on the lookout.
And then what happens? I no sooner recover, in a visiting point of view, the shock of poor dear papa's death, and my poor uncle's though I do not disguise from myself that the last was a happy release, for, if you are not presentable you had much better die 'You are not referring to me, my love, I hope?
