Major Jen worked hard to procure evidence against the prisoner, and David Sarby worked just as hard to obtain materials for the defense. The attitude taken up by the young barrister astonished everybody and was universally condemned.

"What a pack of mail," said Judith. "As a curiosity, I suppose. I've told you all he told me. But I refused to sell it to him, and he seemed greatly vexed, a display of irritation which in its turn vexed me. I was quite annoyed when I left him." "Why," said Arkel, fingering his fat chin, "it was raining, as you may remember on that night." Judith swept her adoring gaze from the Victory to her sister's face..
