“
Styles
is
really
a
glorious
old
place
,
”
I
said
to
John
.
He
nodded
rather
gloomily
.
“
Yes
,
it
’
s
a
fine
property
.
It
’
ll
be
mine
some
day
—
should
be
mine
now
by
rights
,
if
my
father
had
only
made
a
decent
will
.
And
then
I
shouldn
’
t
be
so
damned
hard
up
as
I
am
now
.
”
“
Hard
up
,
are
you
?
”
“
My
dear
Hastings
,
I
don
’
t
mind
telling
you
that
I
’
m
at
my
wits
’
end
for
money
.
”
“
Couldn
’
t
your
brother
help
you
?
”
“
Lawrence
?
He
’
s
gone
through
every
penny
he
ever
had
,
publishing
rotten
verses
in
fancy
bindings
.
No
,
we
’
re
an
impecunious
lot
.
My
mother
’
s
always
been
awfully
good
to
us
,
I
must
say
.
That
is
,
up
to
now
.
Since
her
marriage
,
of
course
—
—
”
he
broke
off
,
frowning
.
For
the
first
time
I
felt
that
,
with
Evelyn
Howard
,
something
indefinable
had
gone
from
the
atmosphere
.
Her
presence
had
spelt
security
.
Now
that
security
was
removed
—
and
the
air
seemed
rife
with
suspicion
.
The
sinister
face
of
Dr
.
Bauerstein
recurred
to
me
unpleasantly
.
A
vague
suspicion
of
everyone
and
everything
filled
my
mind
Just
for
a
moment
I
had
a
premonition
of
approaching
evil
.
I
had
arrived
at
Styles
on
the
5th
of
July
.
I
come
now
to
the
events
of
the
16th
and
17th
of
that
month
.
For
the
convenience
of
the
reader
I
will
recapitulate
the
incidents
of
those
days
in
as
exact
a
manner
as
possible
.
They
were
elicited
subsequently
at
the
trial
by
a
process
of
long
and
tedious
cross
-
examinations
.
