“I think not. Do you remember my asking you if you knew anything about it, which I did not?”
“Oh yes—I didn’t. I know nothing more about it than you do.”
“How do you know that? What if I knew nothing about it?”
Arthur looked puzzled.
“I want you to be frank with me. It is a matter of great importance to us all to get this affair cleared up—more to me than you guess. All I ask you is, do you know who did it?”
“Why, yes,” said Arthur.
“How did you discover? Did anyone tell you?”
“No; I found out.”
“Do you consider that you have no right to tell me the name?”
Arthur stared at him, and once more thought to himself what a wonderfully clever fellow this brother-in-law of his was.
