’
You
can
certainly
trust
me
,
’
Henry
answered
.
’
But
surely
discretion
has
its
limits
,
’
he
added
,
’
after
such
a
discovery
as
we
have
made
?
’
The
manager
understood
that
the
duty
which
they
owed
to
the
community
,
as
honest
and
law
-
abiding
men
,
was
the
duty
to
which
Henry
now
referred
.
’
I
will
at
once
find
the
means
,
’
he
said
,
’
of
conveying
the
remains
privately
out
of
the
house
,
and
I
will
myself
place
them
in
the
care
of
the
police
authorities
.
Will
you
leave
the
room
with
me
?
or
do
you
not
object
to
keep
watch
here
,
and
help
me
when
I
return
?
’
While
he
was
speaking
,
the
voices
of
the
travellers
made
themselves
heard
again
at
the
end
of
the
corridor
.
Henry
instantly
consented
to
wait
in
the
room
.
He
shrank
from
facing
the
inevitable
meeting
with
Agnes
if
he
showed
himself
in
the
corridor
at
that
moment
.
The
manager
hastened
his
departure
,
in
the
hope
of
escaping
notice
.
He
was
discovered
by
his
guests
before
he
could
reach
the
head
of
the
stairs
.
Henry
heard
the
voices
plainly
as
he
turned
the
key
.
While
the
terrible
drama
of
discovery
was
in
progress
on
one
side
of
the
door
,
trivial
questions
about
the
amusements
of
Venice
,
and
facetious
discussions
on
the
relative
merits
of
French
and
Italian
cookery
,
were
proceeding
on
the
other
.
Little
by
little
,
the
sound
of
the
talking
grew
fainter
.
The
visitors
,
having
arranged
their
plans
of
amusement
for
the
day
,
were
on
their
way
out
of
the
hotel
.
In
a
minute
or
two
,
there
was
silence
once
more
.
Henry
turned
to
the
window
,
thinking
to
relieve
his
mind
by
looking
at
the
bright
view
over
the
canal
.
He
soon
grew
wearied
of
the
familiar
scene
.
The
morbid
fascination
which
seems
to
be
exercised
by
all
horrible
sights
,
drew
him
back
again
to
the
ghastly
object
on
the
floor
.
Dream
or
reality
,
how
had
Agnes
survived
the
sight
of
it
?
As
the
question
passed
through
his
mind
,
he
noticed
for
the
first
time
something
lying
on
the
floor
near
the
head
.
Looking
closer
,
he
perceived
a
thin
little
plate
of
gold
,
with
three
false
teeth
attached
to
it
,
which
had
apparently
dropped
out
(
loosened
by
the
shock
)
when
the
manager
let
the
head
fall
on
the
floor
.
The
importance
of
this
discovery
,
and
the
necessity
of
not
too
readily
communicating
it
to
others
,
instantly
struck
Henry
.
Here
surely
was
a
chance
—
if
any
chance
remained
—
of
identifying
the
shocking
relic
of
humanity
which
lay
before
him
,
the
dumb
witness
of
a
crime
!
Acting
on
this
idea
,
he
took
possession
of
the
teeth
,
purposing
to
use
them
as
a
last
means
of
inquiry
when
other
attempts
at
investigation
had
been
tried
and
had
failed
.
He
went
back
again
to
the
window
:
the
solitude
of
the
room
began
to
weigh
on
his
spirits
.
As
he
looked
out
again
at
the
view
,
there
was
a
soft
knock
at
the
door
.
He
hastened
to
open
it
—
and
checked
himself
in
the
act
.
A
doubt
occurred
to
him
.
Was
it
the
manager
who
had
knocked
?
He
called
out
,
’
Who
is
there
?
