Leslie was staring at Hetty. Vivian touched her father's arm. She was very pale but vastly more composed than the others. "Father, listen to me," she said. Her voice trembled in spite of her effort to control it. "We are condemning Miss Castleton unheard. Let us hear everything before we " "Good God, Vivian! Do you mean to " "How can we place any reliance on what she may say?" cried Mrs. Wrandall.
You who have sat at our table, you who have smiled in our faces " "Stop, Mr. Wrandall!" commanded Sara, noting the ashen face of the girl. "Don't let the fact escape you that I am the guilty person. Don't forget that she owed her freedom, if not her life to me. I alone kept her from giving herself up to the law. All that has transpired since that night in March must be placed to my account.
No man shall ever hear from the lips of a Wrandall the smallest part of what has transpired here to-night. Mr. Carroll, you were right. We thank you for the counsel that led this unhappy girl to place herself in our hands," "Oh, God, I thank thee I thank thee!" burst from the lips of Sara Wrandall. She strained Hetty to her breast.
A waiter appeared with a tray and service table. He found Mrs. Wrandall lying back in a chair, attended by a slender young woman in a pink eiderdown dressing-gown, who gave hesitating directions to him. Then he was dismissed with a handsome tip, produced by the same young woman. "You are not to return for these things," she said as he went out.
A second letter had gone by like means to her husband's brother, Leslie Wrandall, instructing him to break the news to his father and mother and to come to her apartment after he had attended to the removal of the body to the family home near Washington Square. She made it quite plain that she did not want Challis Wrandall's body to lie under the roof that sheltered her.
We can't say they're wrong without having something up our sleeves to show that we are right. See what I mean?" "But I tell you she is innocent!" "Can you swear to that, Mrs. Wrandall?" "I I believe I can," she said, and then experienced a sharp sense of dismay. What possessed her to say it? "That is, I could stake my "
"May I enquire, Mr. Carroll, how the clever Mr. Smith accounts for the secrecy observed by Mr. Wrandall and his companion, if, as he proclaims, you were the woman? Is it probable that husband and wife would have been so mysterious?" Mr. Carroll answered. "He is rather ingenious as to that, Mr. Booth. You must understand that he does not specifically charge my cli Mrs.
Wrandall, that you stepped in and said that her alibi was sufficient, and staked her for life out there in the West. She says she saw the other girl after the murder, but she wouldn't say where it was or when. Of course, she couldn't swear that this girl did the job up there at Burton's, but she was pretty nearly dead certain she was the one who went up there with him.
Wrandall, waving Booth aside and sinking stiffly into her chair. Her husband sat down. Their jaws set hard. "Thank you, Vivian," said Sara, surprised in spite of herself. "You are nobler than I " "Please don't thank me, Sara," said Vivian icily. "I was speaking for Miss Castleton." Sara flushed. "I suppose it is useless to ask you to be fair to Sara Gooch, as you choose to call me."
"Would you mind telling me whether there is any one else?" he asked, as he turned toward the door. "Do you really feel that you have the right to ask that question, Mr. Wrandall?" He wet his lips with his tongue. "Then, there IS some one!" he cried, rapping the table with his knuckles. He didn't realise till afterward how vigorously he rapped. "Some confounded English nobody, I suppose."
