Frank coloured and looked uneasy. "If you put it that way, she did."
"What was Berry's attitude"
"I can hardly say, save that whenever he was present Starth and I always had a row."
"H'm! A kind of male Ate," said Jarman, musingly. "Berry was speaking to Starth last night, before Starth insulted you?"
"Yes. But what has that got to do with it."
"Everything! Frank, I tell you this man Berry is at the bottom of the whole mystery. He got you into the trouble, now he means to hang you!"
Lancaster stared. "But his reason?" he asked.
Jarman made an extraordinary reply. "Because of the Scarlet Bat."
