After twenty-four hours' deliberation, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. It was a first-degree verdict. Mr. Howell's unsupported word had lost out against a scar. Contrary to my expectation, Mr. Holcombe was not jubilant over the verdict. He came into the dining-room that night and stood by the window, looking out into the yard. "It isn't logical," he said.
"If I should tell you all the circumstances, you might both agree with me that I may be obliged to kill this man; but on the other hand, you or a jury would call it first-degree murder; as it will be." Barrett looked horrified, as he had a perfect right to. "You couldn't do a thing like that!" he protested.
This infuriated William of Normandy, who reminded Harold of his first-degree oath, and his pledge that he would keep it "or have his salary cut from year to year." Oh, how irritated William was! He got down his gun, and bade the other Normans who desired an outing to do the same.
