At first they responded singly and hesitantly, but soon it was a small stampede save for those who kept guard at the doors and ten minutes later Parish Thornton stood free of limb and Bas Rowlett trembled, putty pale, in the centre of the room with bound wrists and a noose draped across his shoulders.
Then his friend Derec came hesitantly in the door and looked at him remorsefully. He wrung his hands. "I had to do it, Bron," he said agitatedly. "I couldn't help doing it!" Hoddan blinked at him. He was dazed. Things didn't become clearer when he saw that a cop had slit open his pillow and was sifting its contents through his fingers.
Matilda's gaze, which had several times wandered to a point a few inches below Mrs. De Peyster's throat, now fixed themselves upon this spot. She spoke hesitantly. "There's your pearl pendant you forgot and kept on when you put on my dress to go out riding with William."

"No it was not of a significance," she repeated, with a ghost of a little smile. "It was from the Evershams." "Ah! Their condolences, I think?... And is it that they still make the Nile trip?" "Yes.... They went this morning." She spoke hesitantly, averse to having this eager-eyed young host perceive how truly deserted she was. "They expect me to take the express train later and join them."
