By
whom
?
"
"
Well
,
I
ca
n't
just
remember
now
.
But
I
think
I
can
find
the
man
if
I
were
to
go
up
there
again
--
he
's
near
the
depot
,
"
but
at
the
same
time
looking
down
and
away
from
Smillie
.
And
then
Smillie
,
like
Mason
before
him
,
proceeding
to
ask
about
the
bag
in
the
boat
,
and
whether
it
had
not
been
possible
,
if
he
could
swim
to
shore
with
his
shoes
and
suit
on
,
for
him
to
have
swam
to
Roberta
and
assisted
her
to
cling
to
the
overturned
boat
.
And
Clyde
explaining
,
as
before
,
that
he
was
afraid
of
being
dragged
down
,
but
adding
now
,
for
the
first
time
,
that
he
had
called
to
her
to
hang
on
to
the
boat
,
whereas
previously
he
had
said
that
the
boat
drifted
away
from
them
.
And
Smillie
recalled
that
Mason
had
told
him
this
.
Also
,
in
connection
with
Clyde
's
story
of
the
wind
blowing
his
hat
off
,
Mason
had
said
he
could
prove
by
witnesses
,
as
well
as
the
U.
S.
Government
reports
,
that
there
was
not
a
breath
of
air
stirring
on
that
most
halcyon
day
.
And
so
,
plainly
,
Clyde
was
lying
.
His
story
was
too
thin
.
Yet
Smillie
,
not
wishing
to
embarrass
him
,
kept
saying
:
"
Oh
,
I
see
,
"
or
,
"
To
be
sure
,
"
or
"
That
's
the
way
it
was
,
was
it
?
"
And
then
finally
asking
about
the
marks
on
Roberta
's
face
and
head
.
For
Mason
had
called
his
attention
to
them
and
insisted
that
no
blow
from
a
boat
would
make
both
abrasions
.
But
Clyde
sure
that
the
boat
had
only
struck
her
once
and
that
all
the
bruises
had
come
from
that
or
else
he
could
not
guess
from
what
they
had
come
.
But
then
beginning
to
see
how
hopeless
was
all
this
explanation
.
For
it
was
so
plain
from
his
restless
,
troubled
manner
that
Smillie
did
not
believe
him
.
Quite
obviously
he
considered
his
not
having
aided
Roberta
as
dastardly
--
a
thin
excuse
for
letting
her
die
.
And
so
,
too
weary
and
disheartened
to
lie
more
,
finally
ceasing
.
And
Smillie
,
too
sorry
and
disturbed
to
wish
to
catechize
or
confuse
him
further
,
fidgeting
and
fumbling
and
finally
declaring
:
"
Well
,
I
'm
afraid
I
'll
have
to
be
going
now
,
Clyde
The
roads
are
pretty
bad
between
here
and
Sharon
.
But
I
've
been
mighty
glad
to
hear
your
side
of
it
.
And
I
'll
present
it
to
your
uncle
just
as
you
have
told
it
to
me
.
But
in
the
meantime
,
if
I
were
you
,
I
would
n't
do
any
more
talking
than
I
could
help
--
not
until
you
hear
further
from
me
.
I
was
instructed
to
find
an
attorney
up
here
to
handle
this
case
for
you
,
if
I
could
,
but
since
it
's
late
and
Mr.
Brookhart
,
our
chief
counsel
,
will
be
back
to-morrow
,
I
think
I
'll
just
wait
until
I
can
talk
to
him
.
So
if
you
'll
take
my
advice
,
you
'll
just
not
say
anything
until
you
hear
from
him
or
me
.
Either
he
'll
come
or
he
'll
send
some
one
--
he
'll
bring
a
letter
from
me
,
whoever
he
is
,
and
then
he
'll
advise
you
.
"
And
with
this
parting
admonition
,
leaving
Clyde
to
his
thoughts
and
himself
feeling
no
least
doubt
of
his
guilt
and
that
nothing
less
than
the
Griffiths
'
millions
,
if
so
they
chose
to
spend
them
,
could
save
him
from
a
fate
which
was
no
doubt
due
him
.
And
then
on
the
following
morning
Samuel
Griffiths
,
with
his
own
son
Gilbert
standing
by
,
in
the
large
drawing
room
of
their
Wykeagy
Avenue
mansion
,
listening
to
Smillie
's
report
of
his
conference
with
Clyde
and
Mason
.
And
Smillie
reporting
all
he
had
heard
and
seen
.
And
with
Gilbert
Griffiths
,
unbelievably
shaken
and
infuriated
by
all
this
,
exclaiming
at
one
point
:
"
Why
,
the
little
devil
!
The
little
beast
!
But
what
did
I
tell
you
,
Dad
?
Did
n't
I
warn
you
against
bringing
him
on
?
"
