"I admit as much." "Well, then, when he was not at Bayswater he used to live in Jersey Street as Wrent. Ferruci found him out there, and tried to get him to go back, and he took Mrs. Clear several times to the same place in order to persuade him to return to Bayswater. That was why Mrs. Clear visited Jersey Street. Oh, Mark played his part there as Mr.

A. Yes. Four or five times. Q. When did she call last? A. On Christmas Eve. Q. At what hour? A. She came at seven, and went away at eight. I know that because she had supper with Mr. Wrent. Q. Did she leave the house? A. Yes. I let her out myself. Q. Did you ever hear any conversation between them? A. No. Mr. Wrent took care of that. I never got any chance of listening at keyholes with him.

"You were in town on Christmas Eve?" said Denzil, not choosing to explain the motives he believed the pair had for committing the crime. "I was. What of that?" "You were in Jersey Street, Pimlico, on that night." "I was never in Pimlico in my life!" declared Lydia wrathfully, "and, as I said before, I don't know where Jersey Street is." "Do you know a man called Wrent?" "I never heard of him!"

He was a sharp one, for all his craziness. Q. What was the male visitor like? A. He was tall and dark, with a black moustache. Q. Do you think he was a foreigner? A. I don't know. I never heard him speak. Mr. Wrent let him out, as usual. Q. When did he visit Mr. Wrent last? A. On Christmas Eve. He came with the lady. Q. Did he stay to supper also? A. No. He went away at half-past seven. Mr.

Bensusan, and had departed two days after the murder; whereby it would seem that his task having been completed, he had no reason to remain longer in so dangerous a neighbourhood. Yet four months had elapsed since his departure, and Denzil, after some reflection, asked Mrs. Bensusan a question or two regarding this interval. "Has Mr. Wrent returned here since his departure?" he demanded.

Since he left Jersey Street, after the murder, he has not been heard of. Even Mrs. Clear does not know where he is. You know she has put advertisements in the papers in the cypher he gave her according to the arrangement between them but Wrent has not turned up." "And Rhoda?" "Rhoda is still missing. The police are getting warrants out for the servant, for Wrent, for Mrs.

Who killed the man?" "Wrent did the man who lived in Jersey Street." "And who is at the bottom of the whole plot!" said Lucian furiously. "Do you know where he is to be found?" "Yes," said Lydia boldly, "I do; but I'm not going to tell where he is!" "Why not?" "Because I don't want him punished." "But I do," said Diana angrily. "He is a wretch who ought to suffer!"

The reply to the cypher did not appear until he was in that position. Supposing, after all, this mysterious Wrent proves to be this unhappy man?" "In that case, he'll have to pay for his whistle, sir." "You mean in connection with the conspiracy?" "Yes, and perhaps with the murder of Clear; but we don't know if the so-called Wrent committed the crime. For such reason, Mr.

We that is, this lady and myself wish to know, firstly, how your husband came to be masquerading as Mr. Vrain; secondly, where we can find the man called Wrent, who employed your husband; and thirdly, Mrs. Clear, we wish to know, and the law wishes to know, who killed your husband." "I don't know who killed him," said the woman, looking rather afraid, "but I believe Wrent did." "Who is Wrent?"

Bensusan six months; came to her house about the time Mr. Berwin hired No. 13." "Very strange!" assented Lucian, to stop further comment. "What kind of a man was this Mr. Wrent?" "I don't know. I never heard much about him," replied Miss Greeb regretfully. "May I ask why you want to know all this, Mr. Denzil?"
