"I waited half the night at Barford, and then went on to Saundersfoot station, and then to Wrigley. Your servants thought you might possibly have gone there. But you had not been seen there. Magdalen sent me to tell you you must go back to the Palace. Your brother is very ill. He had an attack of hæmorrhage apparently just after you and he parted in the hall.
Professor Brierly was leaning forward. "Not much question about Wrigley, the man who was found in the water at Bradley Beach, is there? All we know about him is that he was found dead in the water. Do you know that he was drowned? Of course you don't. "And Schurman, the man who was reported to have committed suicide by hanging.
I am sorry to inflict this sort of thing on you, but there are circumstances about this that make it rather painful. The fact that we have not heard from the other two men, Miller and Wrigley, takes on rather ghastly importance." Once more there was a painful pause. Jimmy's mind was phrasing words to describe the scene. The eleven old men, waiting to hear from the other three.
Then a sense of indignation overpowered all his other feelings not against Mrs Wrigley, but against Mr Medlock, for leaving him in a position where he could be, even in the remotest degree, open to so unpleasant a charge as that he had just listened to. Why could he not be trusted with sufficient money and control over the operations of the Corporation to enable him to meet so unfounded a charge?
With a fair imitation of Professor Brierly's crisp, staccato, clear cut accents, with the perfectly astonishing memory for which James Hale was known, he said: "Oh, yes?

Of course you don't.
Jimmy poured into his ears the newest developments of the story; Professor Brierly's search and his conclusions. Jimmy concluded with: "About the New York end now, Roy. About Schurman and Wrigley " "We're coverin' that, Jimmy. Schurman committed suicide, I guess, and about Wrigley, nothin' to that. He was drowned. He " At this point Jimmy interrupted.
The Bishop is inducting the new Rector of Wrigley this afternoon, and he sent a wire this morning he is always doing things at the last moment he never considers others to say that he would call at Barford on his way to see Michael. Michael is his godson, and he has always been fond of him. I left them together." Magdalen and Fay sipped their coffee in silence.
"Is there any reason why we cannot do this at once?" "No," said Justice Higginbotham slowly, "there is not. But we are waiting to hear from the only one of our members unaccounted for, Wrigley."
Mrs Wrigley was accordingly ushered in, the dust of travel still on her, for she had come direct from Liverpool by the night train, determined to put her wrongs in the hands of the law.
