"If I'd praised it too much, you'd have been disappointed with the thing itself.",For the moment Major Jen did not ask any more questions, for the very simple reason that he did not exactly know what course to take. Undoubtedly the tramp was telling the truth. He had no reason to conceal it; for in his own mind Jen quite acquitted him of any complicity in the crime. That so feeble and elderly a creature, debauched by intemperance, weak from insufficient food, should attack a vigorous young athlete like Maurice, was out of the question, even though he had the advantage of possessing the devil-stick. But here the question of the dried-up poison occurred to Jen. If the poison had evaporated by the lapse of time, the devil-stick must have been innocuous and incapable of inflicting death. Therefore, upon the evidence of the saturated handkerchief, the bag concealed in the turquoise-studded handle must have been refilled by Dido!--Dido, for the significant reason that she, inheriting the traditions of her Ashantee grandmother, alone must have been capable of manufacturing the deadly drug. To prove this assumption, a feasible one, the devil-stick was close at hand.,Maurice, whose nerves were proof against such fantasies, laughed disbelievingly.,The girl, who was unknown to them both, addressed them impartially.，"You must be mistaken," insisted the major once more. "David was in London on the night when the crime was committed."，"Well, of all things!" exclaimed Patricia indignantly. "We're locked out!"，"Then don't address me!""Inspector Arkel and Dr. Etwald are waiting for you in the library," said Sarby, rapidly.

"Jaggard, did you notice that negress of Mrs. Dallas' about the grounds, since five o'clock?","But could she prepare the special kind of poison required?","Ah!" murmured Mrs. Dallas, casting a haggard look around. "All is lost.",Later on in the day Jen sent a letter to "The Wigwam," asking Mrs. Dallas to come with her daughter the next morning at eleven o'clock. He did not explain that Dr. Etwald would be present, as he knew the temper of Mrs. Dallas. Whatever might be at stake, even if it was to her own interest, she would refuse to meet the man toward whom she bore so strong a hatred. Therefore, Jen decided to be diplomatic, and keep silent as to the visit of Etwald. During the afternoon a note was brought to Jen, in which Mrs. Dallas promised to come and to bring Isabella.,"My dear young lady," he remonstrated, "why distress yourself with recollections of these things?","And do you know," she went on, "that the model is a Russian refugee, and he tried to kill himself because he was so homesick. He's just out of the hospital, and he has a great red scar across his breast. Isn't it exciting to be among such different sort of people? We've always been so sort of tabbified.","Oh!" said the major, suddenly recollecting what had taken place. "I remember her visit; but she gave as her excuse that you wanted to see me.","How do you know that?" asked the inspector sharply.,Leaf V.,CHAPTER XIX. FURTHER EVIDENCE.,"Upon my word, David," said Jen, seeing that Maurice could hardly speak for rage, "you go too far. The girl loves Maurice and not you; and it would be much more honorable for you not to press your suit.","We didn't have one till this winter," she said cheerfully. "So I guess we appreciate him for all he's worth.".
