"As evidence? What do you mean?"
"As evidence of your being an accessory after the fact. If you take my advice, with the proceeds of the pawning of the watch which you purchased with my husband's money, you will remove yourself as far from the reach of the police as you conveniently can."
He put his hand up to his chin, as if pondering her words.
"If you will lend me----"
Lucy cut him short. She threw the door wide open.
"I will lend you nothing. Now go--unless you wish me to send for the police."
He looked at her, not seeming to like what he saw. He scowled his finest scowl.
"Go? Oh yes, I'll go." He cast his eyes up towards the ceiling. "Ingratitude, thy name is woman!" Then down to me--"Not to mention man." He began to button up his overcoat as if in a hurry. "I'll be even with some one over this, you see if I don't."
Then he went finally. We heard him stamping down the stairs; then we heard him shut the hall door behind him with a clatter and a bang as he went out into the street.
