"You must be, if you know who killed Maurice, yet refuse to confess," retorted Jen, with some heat. "Will you tell me the truth? I ask you for the last time." "You have certainly made out a strong case against this man," said Meg, after a pause, "but it is all theory. Your proofs?" "Unexpected, Mr. Alymer!" smiled Etwald. "After my statement last night?".
