But his treatment of this unfortunate girl, his daughter, is really too dreadful.

I do not wish to speak ill of the dead, but I must say that much, whether Sisily had anything to do with Robert's death or not, for, of course, Robert couldn't have known about that at the time--when he made his will, I mean," concluded Mrs.Pendleton, in some confusion of mind.
"It is strange that your brother did not consult me before drawing up this will," said Mr.Brimsdown.
"Perhaps he imagined you might persuade him against it," sighed Mrs.
Pendleton.

"It is all very strange.

I do not understand it a bit." Mr.Brimsdown thought it strange, then and afterwards.

Next day, after going to the police station and handing Robert Turold's letter to Inspector Dawfield, he sought out the Penzance lawyer who had drawn up the will.
