“
I
have
told
you
all
that
happened
,
Mr
.
Hopkins
,
”
she
said
,
wearily
.
“
Could
you
not
repeat
it
for
me
?
Well
,
if
you
think
it
necessary
,
I
will
tell
these
gentlemen
what
occurred
.
Have
they
been
in
the
dining
-
room
yet
?
”
“
I
thought
they
had
better
hear
your
ladyship
’
s
story
first
.
”
“
I
shall
be
glad
when
you
can
arrange
matters
.
It
is
horrible
to
me
to
think
of
him
still
lying
there
.
”
She
shuddered
and
buried
her
face
in
her
hands
.
As
she
did
so
,
the
loose
gown
fell
back
from
her
forearms
.
Holmes
uttered
an
exclamation
.
“
You
have
other
injuries
,
madam
!
What
is
this
?
”
Two
vivid
red
spots
stood
out
on
one
of
the
white
,
round
limbs
.
She
hastily
covered
it
.
“
It
is
nothing
.
It
has
no
connection
with
this
hideous
business
to
-
night
.
If
you
and
your
friend
will
sit
down
,
I
will
tell
you
all
I
can
.
“
I
am
the
wife
of
Sir
Eustace
Brackenstall
.
I
have
been
married
about
a
year
.
I
suppose
that
it
is
no
use
my
attempting
to
conceal
that
our
marriage
has
not
been
a
happy
one
.
I
fear
that
all
our
neighbours
would
tell
you
that
,
even
if
I
were
to
attempt
to
deny
it
.
Perhaps
the
fault
may
be
partly
mine
.
I
was
brought
up
in
the
freer
,
less
conventional
atmosphere
of
South
Australia
,
and
this
English
life
,
with
its
proprieties
and
its
primness
,
is
not
congenial
to
me
.
But
the
main
reason
lies
in
the
one
fact
,
which
is
notorious
to
everyone
,
and
that
is
that
Sir
Eustace
was
a
confirmed
drunkard
.
To
be
with
such
a
man
for
an
hour
is
unpleasant
.
Can
you
imagine
what
it
means
for
a
sensitive
and
high
-
spirited
woman
to
be
tied
to
him
for
day
and
night
?
It
is
a
sacrilege
,
a
crime
,
a
villainy
to
hold
that
such
a
marriage
is
binding
.
I
say
that
these
monstrous
laws
of
yours
will
bring
a
curse
upon
the
land
—
God
will
not
let
such
wickedness
endure
.
”
For
an
instant
she
sat
up
,
her
cheeks
flushed
,
and
her
eyes
blazing
from
under
the
terrible
mark
upon
her
brow
.
Then
the
strong
,
soothing
hand
of
the
austere
maid
drew
her
head
down
on
to
the
cushion
,
and
the
wild
anger
died
away
into
passionate
sobbing
.
At
last
she
continued
:
“
I
will
tell
you
about
last
night
.
You
are
aware
,
perhaps
,
that
in
this
house
all
the
servants
sleep
in
the
modern
wing
.
This
central
block
is
made
up
of
the
dwelling
-
rooms
,
with
the
kitchen
behind
and
our
bedroom
above
.
My
maid
,
Theresa
,
sleeps
above
my
room
.
There
is
no
one
else
,
and
no
sound
could
alarm
those
who
are
in
the
farther
wing
.
This
must
have
been
well
-
known
to
the
robbers
,
or
they
would
not
have
acted
as
they
did
.
“
Sir
Eustace
retired
about
half
-
past
ten
.
The
servants
had
already
gone
to
their
quarters
.
Only
my
maid
was
up
,
and
she
had
remained
in
her
room
at
the
top
of
the
house
until
I
needed
her
services
.
I
sat
until
after
eleven
in
this
room
,
absorbed
in
a
book
.
Then
I
walked
round
to
see
that
all
was
right
before
I
went
upstairs
.
It
was
my
custom
to
do
this
myself
,
for
,
as
I
have
explained
,
Sir
Eustace
was
not
always
to
be
trusted
.
I
went
into
the
kitchen
,
the
butler
’
s
pantry
,
the
gun
-
room
,
the
billiard
-
room
,
the
drawing
-
room
,
and
finally
the
dining
-
room
.
As
I
approached
the
window
,
which
is
covered
with
thick
curtains
,
I
suddenly
felt
the
wind
blow
upon
my
face
and
realized
that
it
was
open
.
I
flung
the
curtain
aside
and
found
myself
face
to
face
with
a
broad
-
shouldered
elderly
man
,
who
had
just
stepped
into
the
room
.
The
window
is
a
long
French
one
,
which
really
forms
a
door
leading
to
the
lawn
.
I
held
my
bedroom
candle
lit
in
my
hand
,
and
,
by
its
light
,
behind
the
first
man
I
saw
two
others
,
who
were
in
the
act
of
entering
.
