The more Jen thought about the matter the more perplexed did he become.

CHAPTER X THE PRIZE DESIGNS "I can arrest you on suspicion," said Arkel, rising with his warrant, "and I arrest you now in the Queen's name." "No," said Battersea again. "The poison is dried up." "No, sir, not till to-day. I don't know what it all means, sir, but I'm sure I know how Dido got into the room.".
