You
are
pleased
to
be
facetious
,
Captain
Calhoun
.
Let
me
tell
you
that
I
do
n't
like
such
pleasantries
--
"
"
Pleasantries
indeed
!
I
'm
stating
plain
facts
.
To-morrow
is
the
day
of
trial
.
Mr
Maurice
Gerald
,
or
McSweeney
,
or
O'Hogerty
,
or
whatever
's
his
name
,
will
stand
before
the
bar
--
accused
of
murdering
your
brother
.
"
"
'
Tis
false
!
Maurice
Gerald
never
--
"
"
Did
the
deed
,
you
are
going
to
say
?
Well
,
that
remains
to
be
proved
.
It
will
be
;
and
from
your
own
lips
will
come
the
words
that
'll
prove
it
--
to
the
satisfaction
of
every
man
upon
the
jury
.

The
great
gazelle-eyes
of
the
Creole
were
opened
to
their
fullest
extent
.
They
gazed
upon
the
speaker
with
a
look
such
as
is
oft
given
by
the
gazelle
itself
--
a
commingling
of
fear
,
wonder
,
and
inquiry
.
It
was
some
seconds
before
she
essayed
to
speak
.
Thoughts
,
conjectures
,
fears
,
fancies
,
and
suspicions
,
all
had
to
do
in
keeping
her
silent
.
"
I
know
not
what
you
mean
,
"
she
at
length
rejoined
.
"
You
talk
of
my
being
called
into
court
.
For
what
purpose
?
Though
I
am
the
sister
of
him
,
who
--
I
know
nothing
--
can
tell
no
more
than
is
in
the
mouth
of
everybody
.
"
"
Yes
can
you
;
a
great
deal
more
.
It
's
not
in
the
mouth
of
everybody
:
that
on
the
night
of
the
murder
,
you
gave
Gerald
a
meeting
at
the
bottom
of
the
garden
.
No
more
does
all
the
world
know
what
occurred
at
that
stolen
interview
.
How
Henry
intruded
upon
it
;
how
,
maddened
,
as
he
might
well
be
,
by
the
thought
of
such
a
disgrace
--
not
only
to
his
sister
,
but
his
family
--
he
threatened
to
kill
the
man
who
had
caused
it
;
and
was
only
hindered
from
carrying
out
that
threat
,
by
the
intercession
of
the
woman
so
damnably
deluded
!
"
All
the
world
do
n't
know
what
followed
:
how
Henry
,
like
a
fool
,
went
after
the
low
hound
,
and
with
what
intent
.
Besides
themselves
,
there
were
but
two
others
who
chanced
to
be
spectators
of
that
parting
.
