' Shortly after that, the sheriff and
the coroner both left, taking with
tnem Claudes ooay.
After they had gone, Uncle Boun
tiful aerved a breakfast which tome
of ue ate through aheer nervousness
and others were unable to touch
for the same reason.
When the meal was about half
! . erer. Uncle Raoul spoke for the
i first time since sluing down at the
1 . table.
"Why did you do it. Beau?" he
asked abruptly.
. Beau glanced up from his plate.
.'; "Do what?" he asked.
I ; Ue about finding; Claude."
j Pick spoke before her brother
could answer.
! i "I think I know," she said. "When

: Beau thought that that I might
i know . something about Claude's
death. So be made up that tale to
f protect me. Isn't that It, Beau?"
1 I Beau nodded carelessly. He had
. , assumed something of his old devil-
' - may-care attitude again.
: "Why did you go downstairs,

i i I wandered out onto the south
gallery, where presently I was Joined

"What do too think of H alL

side me.
"I dont know. Dede," I answered
"There still seem to be a lot of

"But what difference would it
make?" I asked. "It wasn't the
sword that killed Claude; It was
a nean attack."
"Dkint It occur to vou to won

the heart attack that caused the
wound with the sword, or the shock
of the wound that caused the heart
attack?"
"You mean Beau?" I ventured
as he paused.
He didn't answer directly.
"We may as well face the facts
before somebody else faces them
for us," he said.' "Even if Calude did
die around half past two, it still
