case　she　met　one　of　you；　in　which　case；　if　you　mentioned　the　approaching　
arrival　of　Robert；　she　might　say；　'Oh；　I'm　certain　he　has　no　brother；　he　
would　have　told　me　if　he　had；'　and　so　spoil　his　joke。　Possibly；　too；　
Cayley　put　him　on　to　it；　Cayley　obviously　wanted　as　many　people　as　
possible　to　know　about　Robert。〃　

〃Are　you　going　to　tell　the　police？〃　

〃Yes；　I　suppose　they'll　have　to　know。　Cayley　may　have　left　another　
confession。　I　hope　he　won't　give　me　away；　you　see；　I've　been　a　sort　of　
accessory　since　yesterday　evening。　And　I　must　go　and　see　Miss　
Norbury。〃　

〃I　asked；〃　explained　Bill；　〃because　I　was　wondering　what　I　should　say　
to　…　to　Betty。　Miss　Calladine。　You　see；　she's　bound　to　ask。〃　

〃Perhaps　you　won't　see　her　again　for　a　long；　long　time；〃　said　Antony　
sadly。　

〃As　a　matter　of　fact；　I　happen　to　know　that　she　will　be　at　the　
Barringtons。　And　I　go　up　there　to…morrow。〃　

〃Well；　you　had　better　tell　her。　You're　obviously　longing　to。　Only　
don't　let　her　say　anything　for　a　day　or　two。　Ill　write　to　you。〃　

〃Righto！〃　

Antony　knocked　the　ashes　out　of　his　pipe　and　got　up。　

〃The　Barringtons；〃　he　said。　〃Large　party？〃　

〃Fairly；　I　think。〃

The　Red　House　Mystery　

Antony　smiled　at　his　friend。　

〃Yes。　Well；　if　any　of　'em　should　happen　to　be　murdered；　you　might　
send　for　me。　I'm　just　getting　into　the　swing　of　it。〃
