And
then
after
due
consideration
by
the
Finchley
family
,
it
was
decided
that
at
once
,
and
without
explanation
or
apology
to
any
one
,
Mrs.
Finchley
,
Stuart
and
Sondra
should
leave
for
the
Maine
coast
or
any
place
satisfactory
to
them
.
Finchley
himself
proposed
to
return
to
Lycurgus
and
Albany
.
It
was
not
wise
for
any
of
them
to
be
about
where
they
could
be
reached
by
reporters
or
questioned
by
friends
.
And
forthwith
,
a
hegira
of
the
Finchleys
to
Narragansett
,
where
under
the
name
of
Wilson
they
secluded
themselves
for
the
next
six
weeks
.
Also
,
and
because
of
the
same
cause
the
immediate
removal
of
the
Cranstons
to
one
of
the
Thousand
Islands
,
where
there
was
a
summer
colony
not
entirely
unsatisfactory
to
their
fancy
.
But
on
the
part
of
the
Baggotts
and
the
Harriets
,
the
contention
that
they
were
not
sufficiently
incriminated
to
bother
and
so
remaining
exactly
where
they
were
at
Twelfth
Lake
.
But
all
talking
of
Clyde
and
Sondra
--
this
horrible
crime
and
the
probable
social
destruction
of
all
those
who
had
in
any
way
been
thus
innocently
defiled
by
it
.
And
in
the
interim
,
Smillie
,
as
directed
by
Griffiths
,
proceeding
to
Bridgeburg
,
and
after
two
long
hours
with
Mason
,
calling
at
the
jail
to
see
Clyde
.
And
because
of
authorization
from
Mason
being
permitted
to
see
him
quite
alone
in
his
cell
.
Smillie
having
explained
that
it
was
not
the
intention
of
the
Griffiths
to
try
to
set
up
any
defense
for
Clyde
,
but
rather
to
discover
whether
under
the
circumstances
there
was
a
possibility
for
a
defense
,
Mason
had
urged
upon
him
the
wisdom
of
persuading
Clyde
to
confess
,
since
,
as
he
insisted
,
there
was
not
the
slightest
doubt
as
to
his
guilt
,
and
a
trial
would
but
cost
the
county
money
without
result
to
Clyde
--
whereas
if
he
chose
to
confess
,
there
might
be
some
undeveloped
reasons
for
clemency
--
at
any
rate
,
a
great
social
scandal
prevented
from
being
aired
in
the
papers
.
And
thereupon
Smillie
proceeding
to
Clyde
in
his
cell
where
brooding
most
darkly
and
hopelessly
he
was
wondering
how
to
do
.
Yet
at
the
mere
mention
of
Smillie
's
name
shrinking
as
though
struck
.
The
Griffiths
--
Samuel
Griffiths
and
Gilbert
!
Their
personal
representative
.
And
now
what
would
he
say
?
For
no
doubt
,
as
he
now
argued
with
himself
,
Smillie
,
having
talked
with
Mason
,
would
think
him
guilty
.
And
what
was
he
to
say
now
?
What
sort
of
a
story
tell
--
the
truth
or
what
?
But
without
much
time
to
think
,
for
even
while
he
was
trying
to
do
so
Smillie
had
been
ushered
into
his
presence
.
And
then
moistening
his
dry
lips
with
his
tongue
,
he
could
only
achieve
,
"
Why
,
how
do
you
do
,
Mr.
Smillie
?
"
to
which
the
latter
replied
,
with
a
mock
geniality
,
"
Why
,
hello
,
Clyde
,
certainly
sorry
to
see
you
tied
up
in
a
place
like
this
.
"
And
then
continuing
:
"
The
papers
and
the
district
attorney
over
here
are
full
of
a
lot
of
stuff
about
some
trouble
you
're
in
,
but
I
suppose
there
ca
n't
be
much
to
it
--
there
must
be
some
mistake
,
of
course
.
And
that
's
what
I
'm
up
here
to
find
out
.
Your
uncle
telephoned
me
this
morning
that
I
was
to
come
up
and
see
you
to
find
out
how
they
come
to
be
holding
you
.
Of
course
,
you
can
understand
how
they
feel
down
there
.
So
they
wanted
me
to
come
up
and
get
the
straight
of
it
so
as
to
get
the
charge
dismissed
,
if
possible
--
so
now
if
you
'll
just
let
me
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
this
--
you
know
--
that
is
--
"
He
paused
there
,
confident
because
of
what
the
district
attorney
had
just
told
him
,
as
well
as
Clyde
's
peculiarly
nervous
and
recessive
manner
,
that
he
would
not
have
very
much
that
was
exculpatory
to
reveal
.
And
Clyde
,
after
moistening
his
lips
once
more
,
beginning
with
:
"
I
suppose
things
do
look
pretty
bad
for
me
,
Mr.
Smillie
.
I
did
n't
think
at
the
time
that
I
met
Miss
Alden
that
I
would
ever
get
into
such
a
scrape
as
this
.
But
I
did
n't
kill
her
,
and
that
's
the
God
's
truth
.
I
never
even
wanted
to
kill
her
or
take
her
up
to
that
lake
in
the
first
place
.
And
that
's
the
truth
,
and
that
's
what
I
told
the
district
attorney
.
I
know
he
has
some
letters
from
her
to
me
,
but
they
only
show
that
she
wanted
me
to
go
away
with
her
--
not
that
I
wanted
to
go
with
her
at
all
--
"
He
paused
,
hoping
that
Smillie
would
stamp
this
with
his
approval
of
faith
.
And
Smillie
,
noting
the
agreement
between
his
and
Mason
's
assertions
,
yet
anxious
to
placate
him
,
returned
:
"
Yes
,
I
know
.
He
was
just
showing
them
to
me
.
"
"
I
knew
he
would
,
"
continued
Clyde
,
weakly
.
"
But
you
know
how
it
is
sometimes
,
Mr.
Smillie
,
"
his
voice
,
because
of
his
fears
that
the
sheriff
or
Kraut
were
listening
,
pitched
very
low
.
"
A
man
can
get
in
a
jam
with
a
girl
when
he
never
even
intended
to
at
first
.
You
know
that
yourself
.
I
did
like
Roberta
at
first
,
and
that
's
the
truth
,
and
I
did
get
in
with
her
just
as
those
letters
show
.
But
you
know
that
rule
they
have
down
there
,
that
no
one
in
charge
of
a
department
can
have
anything
to
do
with
any
of
the
women
under
him
.
Well
,
that
's
what
started
all
the
trouble
for
me
,
I
guess
.
I
was
afraid
to
let
any
one
know
about
it
in
the
first
place
,
you
see
.
"
