"You loved her and wanted your rival, Mr. Alymer, out of the way. To do so you had my devil-stick stolen." "He guessed as much from the circumstance that the body was carried through your grounds to the lane where the carriage was waiting. You know, major, that this tramp is rather stupid, and it is not an easy thing for him to put two and two together." "We shall see," replied Jen, who was as obstinate as a mule on some points. "I am no fool.".
