Perhaps the excitement, the unconscious strain of the last few days had upset her nerves; for this morning she had lain in what he had taken for a natural sleep, until, finding her still sleeping profoundly at noon, he had remembered her words and telegraphed to Miss Timson.
As for Beard who engineered the deal, I doubt whether you can convict him. It will be a case of Timson's word against Beard's and, since it is impossible to obtain corroborating evidence, the judge will have to charge the jury to acquit Beard. But with Timson up here to be used as a club, I think I can force Beard to tell what he knows of the killing of his employer."
I have been told that he is interested in a good many matters besides this business." "Wa'al," replied Timson, somewhat disconcerted, "I suppose he must keep 'em himself in some kind of a fashion, an' I don't know a thing about any outside matters of his'n, though I suspicion he has got quite a few. No, sir," he declared, "I hain't no more idee of what's in them safes 'n you have.

‘Have I done it!’ said Watkins Tottle. ‘Hush—I’m going to the clergyman.’ ‘No!’ said Parsons. ‘How well you have managed it!’ ‘Where does Timson live?’ inquired Watkins. ‘At his uncle’s,’ replied Gabriel, ‘just round the lane. He’s waiting for a living, and has been assisting his uncle here for the last two or three months.
‘May I beg,’ said the reverend gentleman,—‘May I beg to call upon you, Miss Lillerton, for some trifling donation to my soup, coals, and blanket distribution society?’ ‘Put my name down, for two sovereigns, if you please,’ responded Miss Lillerton. ‘You are truly charitable, madam,’ said the Reverend Mr. Timson, ‘and we know that charity will cover a multitude of sins.
