It was an inâ€" side one." "I don‘t think so. You see nobody knew about Jim coming down to see his uncle. Of course, one can‘t be certain, but I should put that down as just a coincidence and bad luck. What we have to find is someone else with a motive for killing Captain Trevelâ€" yan. The police are quite certain that this is not what they call an ‘outside job‘â€"I mean, it wasn‘t a burglar. The broken open window was faked." "Did the police tell you all this?" "Practically," said Emily. "What do you mean by practiâ€" eally?" "Do you think that somebody is deliberately trying to fasten the ciime on him?" asked Charles Enderâ€" by in his best journalistic manner. "Well, as I was saying, 1 can size up men pretty accurately. Jim is rather a weak character in many ways. I am not sure," said Emily, forgetting for a moment her role of admirer of strong men, "that that‘s not why I like him. The feeling that 1 can run him and make something of him. There are quite a lot ofâ€" wellâ€"even criminal things that I can imagine him doing if pushed to do itâ€"but not murder. _ He simply couldn‘t pick up a sandbag and hit an old man on the back of the neck with it.

Do you know what struck me as queer?" "No, what?" "These people, the Willetts. The ones that took Captain Trevelyan‘s house furnished in the middle winter. It‘s an awfully queer thing to do." "Fro.> all I‘ve heard," Emily went on, "Aunt Jennifer is rather a wonâ€" derful person. She‘s got character. Still, after all, she wasn‘t very far away, she was only at Exeter. She MIGHT have come over to see her brother, and he MIGHT have said something nasty about her husband whom she adores, and she MIGHT have seen red and snatched . up a sandbag and biffed him one." "Do you really think Enderby dubjiously. "No, not really. B "Splendid," said Emily. "Then there‘s Brian, Jim‘s younger brother. He‘s supposed to be in Australia, but he might quite easily have come back. I mean, people do sometimes viithout saying." ‘"We could send him a cable." "We will. 1 suppose Aunt Jennifer is out of it." "Well, that‘s suspect No. 1," said Mr. Enderby, also writing in a little beok.

The money they‘d come into would actually be Sylvia‘s, but that wouldn‘t matter to him. He would soon manage to get it out of her." "You‘re simply marvelous," â€" said Enderby again.

She put a lirge motherly arm round Emily‘s shoulders and patted her consolingly. And here Emily began to cery. She had announced her intentions to Enâ€" derby of doing so, but what apalled her so was with what ease the tears came. To cry at will is not an easy accomplishment. There was someâ€" thing much too real about these tears. It frightened her. She mustn‘t really give way. Giving way wasn‘t the least use to Jim. To be resolute, logiâ€" cal and clear sightedâ€"these were the qualities that were going to count in this game. Sloppy crying had never helped anyone yet. Bt it was a relief all the same to 1. yourself go. After all she had meant to ¢ry. Crying would be an undeniable passport te Mrs. Belâ€" ling‘s sympathy and help. So why not have a good cry while she was about it, A real orgy of weeping in which all her troubles, doubts and acknowledged fears might find vent and be swept away. "There, there, my dear, don‘t ee take on so," said Mrs. Belling. "It‘s too awful!" said Emily. She had been expecting this but it was none the better for that. "You see, Mrs. Belling, Iâ€"I‘m engaged to him. And he didn‘t do it, and, oh dear, it‘s all too dreadful!" ago." Emily had gone very white. "You â€"you‘re sure of that?" +"Oh! yes, miss. Our Amy had it from the Sergeant." "Arrested? Do you mean â€" really arrested?" "Yes, miss. Not half an hour "The young gentleman that stayed here on Friday? And that the police have arrested?" "No, indeed, miss, that J won‘t," said Mrs. Belling, her dark eyes aglitter with interest. ‘"You see, Mr. Pearson â€" you knowâ€"â€"" "Yes, miss. By the four ten train to Exeter, miss?" "No, 1 am going up to Sittaford." "To Sittaford?" Mrs. Belling‘s countenance showed the most lively curiosity. "Yes, and I wanted to ask you if you knew anywhere there where J could stay." "You want to stay up there?" The curiosity was heightened. "Yes, that isâ€"Oh! Mrs. Belling, is there somewhere I could speak to you privately for a moment?" With something like alacrity Mrs. Belling led the way to her own priâ€" vate sanctum. A small comfortable room with a large fire burning. "You won‘t tell anyone, will you?" begun Emily, knowing well that of all openings on earth this one is the most certain to provoke interest and sympathy. "Oh! Mrs. Belling," she exclaimed "I am leaving this afternoon." On her return to the Three Crowns, Emily had the good fortune to run right into Mrs. Belling in the hallâ€" way. Emily Trefusis was really a very accomplished young woman. "I will," said Emily, rising to her feet. "It‘s about time we went back to the Three Crowns and I will pack my suitcase and do a short weeping act on Mrs. Belling‘s shoulder." "Don‘t you worry," said Mr. Enâ€" derby fatuously. "You leave everyâ€" thing to me." "That‘s just what I mean to do," said Emily with a complete lack of truth. _ "It‘s so wonderful to have someone you can really rely on." "Yes, I think we ought to investiâ€" gate there thoroughly," said Enderby. "I‘ve hired a car and I‘m starting there in about balf ia hour. You had better come along with me." "This SEANCE business never seems very practical, does it? If the old boy could get through and say he was dead, why couldn‘t he say who murdered him?" who murdered him?"
