this ridiculous charge"
YES, | hope You Will. Sit down,
won't you: Ridiculous, that's the word
for it. and yet" he added, passing his
hand before his eyes in Il dazed way,

Eyes. III be glad to do that" And he
proceeded to tell in detail the story the
reader already knows.
There's one thing" said Godfrey
when it was ended. is it true that
Miss Croydon seemed to believe Drys-
dale guilty?"
Yes" answered Delroy. "for an in

"Now l should like your permission to
look over the grounds and to examine
the rooms which Drysdale and Tire
maine occupied"

He hurried back through the boat

the edge of it he walked, scrutiniZinS

quite empty. He removed the cork,
shifted it and replaced it quickly.
