"Yes, you may look astonished, David, but it is the truth. Without your assistance I have discovered that Etwald is guilty. Also," added the major, in a kindly tone, "I know the reason of your silence.","Mrs. Johnson," I said after a minute's silence, while I had decided whether or not I had better tell her all about it.
