"So that's it! I told you she came when I telephoned her."
"Yes, but why did you do that?"
"Because I noticed her agitation and the way she watched one person in particular."
"Mrs. Bloodgood?"

"She had seen Mrs. Bloodgood pick up the ring and try it on," said Mrs. Kildair. "The circumstances did seem suspicious, for Mrs. Bloodgood looked up in the mirror and saw her watching her. Miss Charters did not know whether she had returned it, I suppose. That was all. It did look bad—considering what happened afterward."

"Well?" he said with an innocent expression.
"How far has it gone?" said Mrs. Kildair.
