"Then, who killed Verschoyle?"
"I believe his wife did."
"What!"
"Yes; I think she's accusing Vassalla out of jealousy."
"But he did not accuse her of the crime."
"No, he certainly did not," said Foster, musingly. "It's a queer case. What was the paper he was talking about?"
"I don't know," said Ronald. "It is, as you say, a very queer case. I'm going down to Marlow to-morrow."
"What for?"
"I want to see Carmela, and tell her all about the affair."
"Yes, it will be best for you to do that," said Foster. "Perhaps she may throw some light on the affair."
