"Why should this lawyer's clerk have gone on board?"
"That's what Steel is trying to find out. I expect he will make inquiries of Asher, Son, and Asher's office. But the name of the yacht, the fact that Miss Denham made for Gravesend, where it was lying, and its appearance and disappearance within twenty-four hours during which the crime was committed shows me that she fled and that she is guilty."
Ware restrained himself with a violent effort. "Oh," he said ironically, "then you believe that Miss Denham arranged that the yacht should be at Gravesend, ready for her flight, after the death of Daisy."
"It looks like that," assented Morley. "I believe myself that the crime was premeditated."
"And was the fact of my car being at the church gate premeditated?" asked Ware angrily.
"Why not? Miss Denham knew that your car was coming for you after the service."
"Morley, I admit that things look black, but she is not guilty."
"Humph! You love her."
"That has nothing to do with it."
"As you will. Let us say no more on the subject. I wish to tell you why I came."
