Chapter 37
"Pater, I I've got to relets you
from your promise to marry me."
I answered aa eaaually m I could,
although I tu feeling anything
but casual inside. "I appreciate the
noble gesture. Dede, I said. "But
I'm not having any, thanks."
And then without any warning I
was laughing. But it wasnt from
a mladlreoted sense of humor. It
was from sheer relief, because I
had yust dlsoovered a fallacy in
- Beau's logic.
My fiance stared at me in alarm,
then he rushed over to me and
began to shake me.
"Peter, please dont have hys
terics!" he begged.
"Beau's theory is all wrong, be
cause It isnt logical."
"What do you mean?" he de
manded. "I mean that it isnt logical ac
cording to other things we know
about your grandfather," I replied.
"First," I oegan, "consider the
terms of your grandfather's will.
He left his land to his male de
scendants with the stipulation that
upon their deaths, it wss to be
passed on to their male descend
ants. Would he have done that II
he had believed there was heredi
tary insanity In the family, and
wanted the line to die out?"
"No," Amedee admitted; "but he
must have drawn up that will be
fore he suspected his mental condi
tion. Probably that was why he sent
for Duval trie day oeiore ne area.
He wanted to cnange mat pan.
But T was ready for that.
"I dont believe it." I declared.
"Remember, he said to Duval that
he had Just found out something
ne ahouH nave Known long ago.
Now if he had been convinced that
he wss going insane, he would have
1 said that he had Just verified some
thing he had suspected for some
, time. His choice of words show that
the thing he had found out was
something he had not suspected.
"But we can feel pretty safe in
assuming that the thing, whatever
It was, nao somecning to ao wiui
' his fear that he might be losing his
. mind. So let's try to decide, if we
." can, who must have given him that
Idea In the first place. His visit to
the ear specialist shows that his
first thought was that something
might be wrong with his ears. But
upon being assured that nothing
was, he then began to fear that his
trouble might be mental, and so he
went to the psychiatrist. But when
we psycniacrut reported nis reac
tions normal, he must have become
convinced that his supposed audi
tory hallucinations were not hal
Id nations at all, but that some one
was deliberately leading him to
believe that thev were.
"But tent that in Itself proof
of the persecution illusion?" Ame
dee asked.
"No," I answered, "although some-
thlng he must have said probably

led Dr. Brennaman to think that
such a condition might exist. As tor
what he wrote on that case card,
the question mark shows that it
was merely a suggested possibility
to be proved or disproved later. But
as it turned out, your grandfather
aieo oeiore uus coma oe done.
Amedee wss frowning In his effort
to follow my rather sketchy argu
ment.
"You mean that Qrandpere may
actually have been trie victim of
some kind of persecution?" he asked
uncertainly.
"Not persecution exactly," I re
plied, trying to put into words the
vague thing that I sensed, "But your
grandfather may have stumbled
upon something that someone else
didnt want him to know about; and
so this otner person tried to con
vinos him that the thing, whatever
it was, existed only in hh own
Imagination.
"If I only dared believe that!"
Amedee exclaimed with fervor.
"You've got to believe it, because
it's the truth." I declared. "And
here's another thing. Beau believes
that Lee and Uncle Raoul commit
ted suicide because they'd found out
about this supposed Insanity in the
family. But how could they have?
Be didnt get the Idea himself until
after he'd been to New Orleans and
talked with Mr. Duval and the dsv-
ichistrist."
'That's so," he admitted.
Amedee rose, and began slowly to
pace me iioor.
I wonder," I said, thinking aloud,
"whether it's possible that the
sheriff could have been half right,
after all. That is, right about Uncle
Kaoui, but wrong about Lee."
juneaee stopped his pacing.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"The sheriff thinks Uncle Raoul's
death was murder, but" In his
excitement, ne nearly dropped his
cigarette. "Peter, you don't be
lieve . . .?"
'Yes. Dede." I answered. "I be
lieve that Uncle Raoul and Lee were
both murdered. And what's more,
I'm beginning to susDect that
Claude and your grandfather may
have been, too."
