And
then
there
was
the
question
,
what
was
my
duty
in
the
matter
?
She
had
made
me
,
you
see
,
an
accessory
after
the
fact
.
She
saw
all
that
,
I
think
,
quicker
than
I
did
.
I
was
stunned
,
you
know
.
She
asked
me
for
twenty
-
four
hours
–
made
me
promise
to
do
nothing
till
the
end
of
that
time
.
And
she
steadfastly
refused
to
give
me
the
name
of
the
scoundrel
who
had
been
blackmailing
her
.
I
suppose
she
was
afraid
that
I
might
go
straight
off
and
hammer
him
,
and
then
the
fat
would
have
been
in
the
fire
as
far
as
she
was
concerned
.
She
told
me
that
I
should
hear
from
her
before
twenty
-
four
hours
had
passed
.
My
God
!
I
swear
to
you
,
Sheppard
,
that
it
never
entered
my
head
what
she
meant
to
do
.
Suicide
!
And
I
drove
her
to
it
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
"
I
said
.
"
Don
’
t
take
an
exaggerated
view
of
things
.
The
responsibility
for
her
death
doesn
’
t
lie
at
your
door
.
"
"
The
question
is
,
what
am
I
to
do
now
?
The
poor
lady
is
dead
.
Why
rake
up
past
trouble
?
"
"
I
rather
agree
with
you
,
"
I
said
.
"
But
there
’
s
another
point
.
How
am
I
to
get
hold
of
that
scoundrel
who
drove
her
to
death
as
surely
as
if
he
’
d
killed
her
?
He
knew
of
the
first
crime
,
and
he
fastened
on
to
it
like
some
obscene
vulture
.
She
’
s
paid
the
penalty
.
Is
he
to
go
scot
free
?
"
"
I
see
,
"
I
said
slowly
.
"
You
want
to
hunt
him
down
?
It
will
mean
a
lot
of
publicity
,
you
know
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
’
ve
thought
of
that
.
I
’
ve
zigzagged
to
and
fro
in
my
mind
.
"
"
I
agree
with
you
that
the
villain
ought
to
be
punished
,
but
the
cost
has
got
to
be
reckoned
.
"
Ackroyd
rose
and
walked
up
and
down
.
Presently
he
sank
into
the
chair
again
.
"
Look
here
,
Sheppard
,
suppose
we
leave
it
like
this
.
If
no
word
comes
from
her
,
we
’
ll
let
the
dead
things
lie
.
"
"
What
do
you
mean
by
word
coming
from
her
?
"
I
asked
curiously
.
"
I
have
the
strongest
impression
that
somewhere
or
somehow
she
must
have
left
a
message
for
me
–
before
she
went
.
I
can
’
t
argue
about
it
,
but
there
it
is
.
"
I
shook
my
head
.
"
She
left
no
letter
or
word
of
any
kind
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Sheppard
,
I
’
m
convinced
that
she
did
.
And
more
,
I
’
ve
a
feeling
that
by
deliberately
choosing
death
,
she
wanted
the
whole
thing
to
come
out
,
if
only
to
be
revenged
on
the
man
who
drove
her
to
desperation
.
I
believe
that
if
I
could
have
seen
her
then
,
she
would
have
told
me
his
name
and
bid
me
go
for
him
for
all
I
was
worth
.
"
He
looked
at
me
.
"
You
don
’
t
believe
in
impressions
?
"
"
Oh
,
yes
,
I
do
,
in
a
sense
.
If
,
as
you
put
it
,
word
should
come
from
her
"
I
broke
off
.
The
door
opened
noiselessly
and
Parker
entered
with
a
salver
on
which
were
some
letters
.
"
The
evening
post
,
sir
,
"
he
said
,
handing
the
salver
to
Ackroyd
.
Then
he
collected
the
coffee
cups
and
withdrew
.
My
attention
,
diverted
for
a
moment
,
came
back
to
Ackroyd
.
He
was
staring
like
a
man
turned
to
stone
at
a
long
blue
envelope
.
The
other
letters
he
had
let
drop
to
the
ground
.
