"'
God
forgive
you
!
'
cried
Madame
Charpentier
,
throwing
up
her
hands
and
sinking
back
in
her
chair
.
'
You
have
murdered
your
brother
.
'
"'
Arthur
would
rather
that
we
spoke
the
truth
,
'
the
girl
answered
firmly
.
"'
You
had
best
tell
me
all
about
it
now
,
'
I
said
.
'
Half-confidences
are
worse
than
none
.
Besides
,
you
do
not
know
how
much
we
know
of
it
.
'
"'
On
your
head
be
it
,
Alice
!
'
cried
her
mother
;
and
then
,
turning
to
me
,
'
I
will
tell
you
all
,
sir
.
Do
not
imagine
that
my
agitation
on
behalf
of
my
son
arises
from
any
fear
lest
he
should
have
had
a
hand
in
this
terrible
affair
.
He
is
utterly
innocent
of
it
.
My
dread
is
,
however
,
that
in
your
eyes
and
in
the
eyes
of
others
he
may
appear
to
be
compromised
.
That
however
is
surely
impossible
.
His
high
character
,
his
profession
,
his
antecedents
would
all
forbid
it
.
'
"'
Your
best
way
is
to
make
a
clean
breast
of
the
facts
,
'
I
answered
.
'
Depend
upon
it
,
if
your
son
is
innocent
he
will
be
none
the
worse
.
'
"'
Perhaps
,
Alice
,
you
had
better
leave
us
together
,
'
she
said
,
and
her
daughter
withdrew
.
'
Now
,
sir
,
'
she
continued
,
'
I
had
no
intention
of
telling
you
all
this
,
but
since
my
poor
daughter
has
disclosed
it
I
have
no
alternative
.
Having
once
decided
to
speak
,
I
will
tell
you
all
without
omitting
any
particular
.
'
"'
It
is
your
wisest
course
,
'
said
I.
"'
Mr.
Drebber
has
been
with
us
nearly
three
weeks
.
He
and
his
secretary
,
Mr.
Stangerson
,
had
been
travelling
on
the
Continent
.
I
noticed
a
"
Copenhagen
"
label
upon
each
of
their
trunks
,
showing
that
that
had
been
their
last
stopping
place
.
Stangerson
was
a
quiet
reserved
man
,
but
his
employer
,
I
am
sorry
to
say
,
was
far
otherwise
.
He
was
coarse
in
his
habits
and
brutish
in
his
ways
.
The
very
night
of
his
arrival
he
became
very
much
the
worse
for
drink
,
and
,
indeed
,
after
twelve
o'clock
in
the
day
he
could
hardly
ever
be
said
to
be
sober
.
His
manners
towards
the
maid-servants
were
disgustingly
free
and
familiar
.
Worst
of
all
,
he
speedily
assumed
the
same
attitude
towards
my
daughter
,
Alice
,
and
spoke
to
her
more
than
once
in
a
way
which
,
fortunately
,
she
is
too
innocent
to
understand
.
On
one
occasion
he
actually
seized
her
in
his
arms
and
embraced
her
--
an
outrage
which
caused
his
own
secretary
to
reproach
him
for
his
unmanly
conduct
.
'
"'
But
why
did
you
stand
all
this
,
'
I
asked
.
'
I
suppose
that
you
can
get
rid
of
your
boarders
when
you
wish
.
'
"
Mrs.
Charpentier
blushed
at
my
pertinent
question
.
'
Would
to
God
that
I
had
given
him
notice
on
the
very
day
that
he
came
,
'
she
said
.
'
But
it
was
a
sore
temptation
.
They
were
paying
a
pound
a
day
each
--
fourteen
pounds
a
week
,
and
this
is
the
slack
season
.
I
am
a
widow
,
and
my
boy
in
the
Navy
has
cost
me
much
.
I
grudged
to
lose
the
money
.
I
acted
for
the
best
.
This
last
was
too
much
,
however
,
and
I
gave
him
notice
to
leave
on
account
of
it
.
That
was
the
reason
of
his
going
.
