“The inquest will be held at the tavern, and in the room where the body lies.”
“You must be there,” said Marlowe in a decided tone.

“To see the woman.”
“Forget her,” said Tamworth.
“No; but more if she has been apprehended, she may need aid or advice.”
“Possibly,” answered Tamworth, and then after a moment’s thought he continued: “She may even need to be warned against a betrayal of the true situation of affairs.”
Marlowe was on the point of disputing this imputation of bad faith; but he held his peace, for he saw that this idea alone would cause the lawyer to hasten to the scene of the crime.
“I will go,” at length said Tamworth.
