"Why better?"
"Because secrecy is bad. And he was beginning to wonder. He wanted to go back to business; and he wouldn't because he thought it was the place that did it."
"I see," said Agatha. "And what does he think it is now?"
"He thinks it's you, dear."
"But I told you—I told you—that was what you were not to think."
"My dear, it's an immense concession that he should think it's you."
"A concession to what?"
"Well, I suppose, to the supernatural."
"Milly, you shouldn't have told him. You don't know what harm you might have done. I'm not sure even now that you have not done harm."
