"Both of them will refuse to meet you. You saw Mrs. Dallas to-day, how she behaved." "I can't tell, nor can anybody else. All we know is that at three o'clock in the morning we entered Mr. Maurice's room and found the window open, the body gone, and you insensible." "You must be mistaken," insisted the major once more.
