Torry looked straight at the young man. "Let us say Donna Inez."
"You are mad!"
"Bah! I am only theoretical," retorted Torry coolly. "Listen. So far as I can see by the imperfect and scattered evidence we have collected, there is a choice of two motives to account for this crime One is that Grent was murdered for the sake of that ten thousand pounds."
"But you can't prove that he had the money. Vass says----"
"I know what Vass says--that the money was in the safe after Grent went. Well, that seems to dispose of the robbery motive. All the same, I would have you remember that when you met Grent he had on him some valuable which he fancied you might take from him. I suggested at our first conversation that it might be a jewel."
"Now, I know that if he carried anything to the rendezvous with Julia Brawn it was that stolen money."
"Rubbish! I say again that you can't prove how it came into Grent's possession."
"Vass might have taken it out of the safe and given it to his master next day."
"Torry," said Darrel gravely, "when Vass left the bank on Friday night the money was in the safe."
"Are you certain of that?"
