avoid to break the silence ho asked carelessly if the inspector had gone cayley nodded then he said abruptly hes getting a warrant for marks arrest bill made a suitably sympathetic noise and antony said with a shrug of the shoulders well he was bound to io that wasnt he it doesnt mean anything they naturally want to get hold of your cousin innocent or guilty which do you think he is mr gil- lingham said cayley looking at him steadily mark its absurd said bill im petuously bills loyal you see mr cayley and you owe no loyalty io anyone concerned exactly so perhaps i might le too frank bill had dropped down en the grass and cayley took his place on the seat and sat there heavily his elbows on his knees his chin on his hands gaz ing at the ground i want you to be quite frank he said at last naturally i am pre judiced where mark is concerned so i want to know how my suggestion strikes you whohave no prejudices either way your suggestion my theory that if mark killed his brother it was purely accidental as i told the inspector bill looked up with interest you mean that robert did the holdup business he said and there was a hit of a struggle and the re volver went off and then mark lost his head and bolted that sort of idea exactly well that teems ail right kc turned to antony theres nothing wrong with that is there its tho most natural explanation to anyone who knows mark antony pulled at his pipe i suppose it is he said slowly but theres one thing that worries me rather whats that bill and cayky asked the question simultaneously the key the key said bih cayley lifted his head and looked at antony what about the key he asked well there may he nothing in it i just wondered suppose robert was killed as you say and suppose mark lost his head and thought of nothing hut getting away before anyone could see hirn well very likely hed lock the door and put the key in his pocket hod do it without thinking just to gain a moments time ycf thats what i suggest yes thats all right if the key is there but suppose it isnt there the suggestion made as if it were already an established fact startled them both ou get the key now is there hes got to open the door to get it and opening the door means showing his head to anybody in the hall his cousin for instance whom he left there two min utes ago is a man in marks state of mind frightened to death lest he should he found with the bed going to do anything so foolhardy as that he neednt have ken afraid oi me said cayley then why didnt he call for you he knew you were about you could have advised him heaver knows he wanted advice but the whole theory of marks escape is that he was afraid of you and of everybody else yes i expect youie right said bill thoughtfully unless he- took the key in with him and letiefl the door at once exactly but in that ise ycu tell me something about mark said antony suddenly the latest bug yes mr dragon fly ban a fine eb now heh operating the eur- villo ilr inah lino have to build up a new theory en tirely you mean that it makes it seem more deliberate yes that certainly but ir also seems to make mark out an absolute idiot just suppose for a moment that for urgent reasons which neithei of you know anything about he had wished to get rid of his brother would he have done it like that jus killed him and then run away why thats practically suicide no if you really wanted to remove an undesir able brother you would do it little bit more cleverly than that cayley had been silent apparently- thinking ever this new idea with his eyes the ground he said now i hold to my opinion that it was purely accidental and that mark lost his head and ran away but what about the kev asked bill we dont know yet that the heys wetc outside oh well of course if they art inside then your original theory isj probably the correot ore having often seen them outsite j just wem- dored thats all even if the key was outside went on cayley stubbornly i still think it might have beer accidentah he might have taken it with him knowing that the interview would he an unpleasant one and not wishing te tie inter rupted because he- had just toid you what do you mean said cayley stand by in ee he wanted you so well its just a question of where why should he lock you ou besides people- happen to ieep their keys you 1 1 should think that if a man were go up to your bedroejm and perhaps j roing to havo an unpleasant inter- you like to lock your door in case any- view with a threatening relation the body comes wandering in when youve last thing he would do would ho to only jret one sock and a pair of braces barricade himself in with him he on well thats natural enough but would want to open ail the doors and dowrstaiis people dort lock them- say get out ef it selves in its really rovtr done at all j cayley ws silent but his mouth bill for instance has never locked looked obstinate- antony gave a lit- himself into the diningroom in order tie apologetic laugh and stood up io be alone with the sherry on the well come on bill ho said we other hand all women and particular- ought to he stepping he held out ly servant have a horror of burglars a hand and pulled his friend
