No
possible
doubt

’
his
brother
repeated
.
’
I
shall
go
on
with
my
reading
,
Henry
—
and
see
what
justification
there
may
be
for
that
confident
conclusion
of
yours
.
’
He
read
on
steadily
,
until
he
had
reached
the
end
of
the
Second
Act
.
Then
he
looked
up
.
’
Do
you
really
believe
that
the
mutilated
remains
which
you
discovered
this
morning
are
the
remains
of
our
brother
?
’
he
asked
.
’
And
do
you
believe
it
on
such
evidence
as
this
?
’
Henry
answered
silently
by
a
sign
in
the
affirmative
.
Lord
Montbarry
checked
himself
—
evidently
on
the
point
of
entering
an
indignant
protest
.
’
You
acknowledge
that
you
have
not
read
the
later
scenes
of
the
piece
,
’
he
said
.
’
Don
’
t
be
childish
,
Henry
!
If
you
persist
in
pinning
your
faith
on
such
stuff
as
this
,
the
least
you
can
do
is
to
make
yourself
thoroughly
acquainted
with
it
.
Will
you
read
the
Third
Act
?
No
?
Then
I
shall
read
it
to
you
.
’
He
turned
to
the
Third
Act
,
and
ran
over
those
fragmentary
passages
which
were
clearly
enough
written
and
expressed
to
be
intelligible
to
the
mind
of
a
stranger
.
’
Here
is
a
scene
in
the
vaults
of
the
palace
,
’
he
began
.
’
The
victim
of
the
conspiracy
is
sleeping
on
his
miserable
bed
;
and
the
Baron
and
the
Countess
are
considering
the
position
in
which
they
stand
.
The
Countess
(
as
well
as
I
can
make
it
out
)
has
raised
the
money
that
is
wanted
by
borrowing
on
the
security
of
her
jewels
at
Frankfort
;
and
the
Courier
upstairs
is
still
declared
by
the
Doctor
to
have
a
chance
of
recovery
.
What
are
the
conspirators
to
do
,
if
the
man
does
recover
?
The
cautious
Baron
suggests
setting
the
prisoner
free
.
If
he
ventures
to
appeal
to
the
law
,
it
is
easy
to
declare
that
he
is
subject
to
insane
delusion
,
and
to
call
his
own
wife
as
witness
.
On
the
other
hand
,
if
the
Courier
dies
,
how
is
the
sequestrated
and
unknown
nobleman
to
be
put
out
of
the
way
?
Passively
,
by
letting
him
starve
in
his
prison
?
No
:
the
Baron
is
a
man
of
refined
tastes
;
he
dislikes
needless
cruelty
.
The
active
policy
remains
—
say
,
assassination
by
the
knife
of
a
hired
bravo
?
The
Baron
objects
to
trusting
an
accomplice
;
also
to
spending
money
on
anyone
but
himself
.
Shall
they
drop
their
prisoner
into
the
canal
?
The
Baron
declines
to
trust
water
;
water
will
show
him
on
the
surface
.
Shall
they
set
his
bed
on
fire
?
An
excellent
idea
;
but
the
smoke
might
be
seen
.
No
:
the
circumstances
being
now
entirely
altered
,
poisoning
him
presents
the
easiest
way
out
of
it
.
He
has
simply
become
a
superfluous
person
.
The
cheapest
poison
will
do
.
—
Is
it
possible
,
Henry
,
that
you
believe
this
consultation
really
took
place
?
