What
does
that
prove
?
There
were
fifty
ways
of
finding
out
.
It
’
s
the
kind
of
thing
one
can
easily
do
.
”
Flamel
glanced
at
him
with
contempt
.
“
Our
ideas
probably
differ
as
to
what
a
man
can
easily
do
.
It
would
not
have
been
easy
for
me
.
”
Glennard
’
s
anger
vented
itself
in
the
words
uppermost
in
his
thought
.
“
It
may
,
then
,
interest
you
to
hear
that
my
wife
does
know
about
the
letters
—
has
known
for
some
months
.
.
.
.
”
“
Ah
,
”
said
the
other
,
slowly
.
Glennard
saw
that
,
in
his
blind
clutch
at
a
weapon
,
he
had
seized
the
one
most
apt
to
wound
.
Flamel
’
s
muscles
were
under
control
,
but
his
face
showed
the
undefinable
change
produced
by
the
slow
infiltration
of
poison
.
Every
implication
that
the
words
contained
had
reached
its
mark
;
but
Glennard
felt
that
their
obvious
intention
was
lost
in
the
anguish
of
what
they
suggested
.
He
was
sure
now
that
Flamel
would
never
have
betrayed
him
;
but
the
inference
only
made
a
wider
outlet
for
his
anger
.
He
paused
breathlessly
for
Flamel
to
speak
.
“
If
she
knows
,
it
’
s
not
through
me
.
”
It
was
what
Glennard
had
waited
for
.
“
Through
you
,
by
God
?
Who
said
it
was
through
you
?
Do
you
suppose
I
leave
it
to
you
,
or
to
anybody
else
,
for
that
matter
,
to
keep
my
wife
informed
of
my
actions
?
I
didn
’
t
suppose
even
such
egregious
conceit
as
yours
could
delude
a
man
to
that
degree
!
”
Struggling
for
a
foothold
in
the
small
landslide
of
his
dignity
,
he
added
,
in
a
steadier
tone
,
“
My
wife
learned
the
facts
from
me
.
”
Flamel
received
this
in
silence
.
The
other
’
s
outbreak
seemed
to
have
reinforced
his
self
-
control
,
and
when
he
spoke
it
was
with
a
deliberation
implying
that
his
course
was
chosen
.
“
In
that
case
I
understand
still
less
—
”
“
Still
less
—
?
”
“
The
meaning
of
this
.
”
He
pointed
to
the
check
.
“
When
you
began
to
speak
I
supposed
you
had
meant
it
as
a
bribe
;
now
I
can
only
infer
it
was
intended
as
a
random
insult
.
In
either
case
,
here
’
s
my
answer
.
