"That is tantamount to saying they are both fine pieces of work," he answered. "And means, I suppose, that the real woman was somewhere between the two," said Zena. "Possibly, but with Musgrave's idea the predominant truth," said Quarles. "Why?" asked Zena. Quarles shrugged his shoulders. He had no answer to give. "The day after to-morrow, Wigan, we will go to the Agricultural Institute."
She that word henceforth meant Zena had just come back from her boarding-school, and of all times of year coming back from a boarding-school and for wearing a white shirt waist and a crimson tie and for carrying a tennis racket on the stricken street of a town commend me to the month of June in Mariposa.
Zena Kropoli, called in derision the Frenchwoman, followed the artillery, and came to France after the peace. Auguste Niseron asked permission to marry her; but the poor woman died at Vincennes in January, 1810, after giving birth to a daughter, our Genevieve. The papers necessary to make the marriage legal arrived a few days later.
They were both a little out of their depth, I thought, and after a few moments I did not pay much attention to them. My thoughts had gone back to Musgrave's picture and to Forbes's bust of Madame Vatrotski. Zena had said that the real woman was probably somewhere between the two, and as I looked at the figure for which the dancer had been the model I felt she was right.
The murderer might have been leaning over his victim examining it." "That is true. You pick out the weak point," said Quarles. "Even then there would have been some sort of struggle, surely," said Zena. "The poison can hardly act instantaneously." "Practically it does," Quarles answered.
Helen Crosland would certainly have had difficulty in drawing them back, and it is an absurdity for her brother to declare that she had gone before he knew what she was doing." I had no comment to make, and Zena leaned forward in her chair, evidently excited.
"I have told Zena the whole affair as far as we know it," said Quarles, putting his papers on the table, "and she asks me a foolish question, Wigan. 'Why didn't the butler run for the police instead of Miss Crosland? Have you got any information which will help to answer it?" "It doesn't seem to me very strange that she went," I returned. "I have been busy, but there is not very much to tell.
The next night we did the same thing, and again I wanted to get rid of the old woman, but Zena resisted. As my sweet love spoke only Greek, and I Venetian, we couldn't understand each other, and so we quarrelled.
He hadn't asked him to the house till Zena brought him there, though, as a rule, all the bank clerks in Mariposa treated Judge Pepperleigh's premises as their own. He used to sit and sneer at Pupkin after he had gone till Zena would throw down the Pioneers of Tecumseh Township in a temper and flounce off the piazza to her room.
He seemed able to talk of nothing but the symbolism of the group, finding many points in it which had escaped me entirely. "It has given me an idea, Wigan." "About Madame Yatrotski?" "Yes; but we will wait until we get home." We went straight to that empty room. Zena could not persuade the old man to have some tea first. "Tea! I am not taking tea to-day.
