And Warrender, what about his death? he asked.
gpt
Does Marlow know who killed him?
human
Strange as it may seem, he does not, Mr. Thorold. He is as ignorant as you or I. That death is a mystery still.
gpt
But if Warrender was killed on the heath----
human
I can't explain, Mr. Thorold. Hear Marlow's story, and you will be as much in the dark as I am. But I suspect Lestrange.
gpt
So did I, replied Alan, speaking in the past tense.
human
But I learned for certain that Lestrange was not in England on the night of the murder.
gpt
I proved that, too, said Blair thoughtfully;
human
Yes, dancing on Miss Marlow's doorstep in the hope of getting money.
gpt
Does he receive any letters?
human
I don't know. Why?
gpt
Merely an idea of mine. I'll tell you later on what I think.
human
You are keeping me very much in the dark, Blair,
gpt
I don't care to show incomplete work, replied the inspector bluntly.
human
I believe I can unravel the whole of this mystery, but I don't want to show you the raw material. Let me work it out my own way, Mr. Thorold, and judge me by the result.
gpt
As you please. So long as you do it, I don't care how you go about it.
human
I am working for two thousand pounds, said Blair,
gpt
He has already made a clutch at it by accusing me of the theft of Mr. Marlow's body.
human
The two are working in unison, said he, rubbing his hands;
gpt
By the way, said Thorold,
human
To be caught by Lestrange? No, I think not. He is not such a fool. If you want to see him, you must go to Brighton.
gpt
I shall go to-morrow, Blair. I am most anxious to hear the story of that night.
human
A strange story--more like fiction than truth.
gpt
Truth is always stranger than fiction.
