CHAPTER XXXIV
AT ABOUT seven o'clock,
every one gathered In the
drawing room for drinks. They
put up a (airly good front at
being casual, though Hurst a
bit of a foot-tapper and finger
drummer at the best of times
kept up a ceaseless tattoo, and
Nugent was emptily gay, Felix
poured drinks feverishly.
"R'c going to be bot wain to
morrow." "Shouldn't wonder."
"I see In tonight's paper that the
rainfall for this half year "
"Sorry. Cyril what were you
saying?"
This Is unbearable, Eileen was
thinking, everyone was pretending
to be normal, and they weren't
not an atom. They were watchful
Denise looking strangely aside at
Joyce. Nugent with a glint la his
eye watching Felix pour a drink.
B rends foolishly tearing a flower to
pieces, her eyes never leaving Nu
gent'! face and Burst's fingers
tapping, tapping.
, A footstep sounded on the ver
anda. Bill spoke sharply. "Who's that?"
It was Rath. He appeared In the
French doorway and stood looking
Into the room, blinking his eyes.
"The Johns have found some
thing." he said hoarsely.
"Pound something?"
"Yes. they found a bit of lack
ing . . . There's blood on It."
Like white masks, every faee
Jerked around toward him, no ex
pression on any one of them,
"I heard them talking Just now,"
, Rath went on. "They found It down
by the water somewhere."
"Where?" It was Fells who asked
the question.
"I dunno one of the jetties, I
dunno which one."
Rath made a queer movement
with his hands, then turned and
disappeared. ; ;
"ftflCHAEL," Eileen whispered.
v "Michael dead. too. He
stepped out of that window last
night and and that was the end."
. The others remained silent.
"No. nol" Eileen cried. "It cant
be! People don't go on killing oth
ers like this."
"Oh, yes. they do." Nugent said
grimly. "Remember Landru dis
posed of quite a number of wives
before they got him."
BUI faced them all as though he
were going to make a speech.
"Well, may I say right here and
now If anyone has any designs on
me that I hear nothing. I see
nothing. And Jf I did know any
thing I wouldn't tell it Td be far
too scared."
At that moment, the heavy,
stolid form of the constable called
Mac appeared In the doorway. His
glance went around the room and
came to rest on Nugent,
"Or. Nugent, will you some with
me. please? The inspector wants a
word with you."
"Certainly."
The doctor seemed to be making
a big effort to act as though the re
quest were the pleasantest In the
world, but his glass rattled on the
table as he put It down, and his
face was pale as-he followed the

GROG AN was down on Dr. Nu
gent ' Jetty, where the doctor
kept his boat a smart Uttle affair
with a speed engine.
"Nice little boat ysuve got here."
the Inspector said, as Nugent ap
peared with the constable.
"Yes "
"Is this the boat you take Miss
Wheatley out In?"
"You needn't assume, Inspector,
that I have my boat only for the
purpose of taking young girls about.
My wife and fuse It a great deal."
"When did you have It out last?"
Nugent didn't answer for a min
ute. He lighted a cigarette and
watched the match go slowly out In
the still air.
Then, he said casually, "Well, as
a matter of fact, the last time too
the night I took Miss Wheatley for
a spin the night of Mrs. Dodd's
death."
Orogan stood looking down at
the boat. "Then how do account for
the fact that It was taken out last
night."
"It vrasnt I dldnt have ft out
test night."
"Well, never mind that for the
moment." The Inspector paused.
"We found here caught on that
splinter at the edge of the steps
a small piece of sacking. There was
blood on It. Rawson's missing, you
see. and"
"You're not suggesting that Raw
son has been has been" Nugent
faltered.
Oroenn shot another question at
him. "How long has that pile of
sacks been in that old potting shed
of yours?"
"Backs? What sacks?"
"There's a pile of dusty seeks
there and the top one's been taken
away recently."
"I dont know anything about It
I dont know what you're talking
about. I suppose that my gardener
knows."
"Your gardener only comes once
a week. Five days ago. he came. The
lack of dust on the top sack shows
that It hasn't been the top one for
more than a day or so." '.
yHEN. Nugent cracked. He spat
a his cigarette out Into the water
and etalked up and down,
"It's monstrous) It's a scandal
ous attempt to Implicate me I" Ha
raged on. his laneuage becoming
far from professional.
Orogan waited, gailng on!vlv
at the darkenln witer. When the
other hsd talked himself out, he
spoke quietly.
"You keep the" key of your boat.
T sirooose. doctor?"
"Of course. Yes, naturally. I
mean"
"You mean somebody else has
another one?"
Nugent hesitated a second.
"Yes. Miss Wheatley has another
key."
"Does she take the boat out alone
sometimes?" f 1
"She sometimes brings It around
to one of the other bays and meets
me there."
"Isee.OJt."
The Inspector walked off and left
Nugent standing there.
