“I tell you, Mr. Brett, that swine killed Sir Alan Hume-Frazer.”
“You use strong language.”
“Not stronger than he deserves.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I heard he was in London, and watched him. I saw him go to your chambers and guessed what was up, so I came down here to see you and tell you what I know.”
“Out of pure good-nature?”
“You can believe it or not, Mr. Brett. It is the truth.”
“He has been tried and acquitted. He cannot be tried again. Does Scotland Yard—”
“I’m on my holidays.”
Brett laughed heartily.
