It was enough on my part to whisper to him who I was and to add 'I know that you are at the bottom of this affair.' It must have seemed miraculous to him that we should know already, but he took it all in the stride.

The wonderfulness of it never checked him for a moment.

There remained for me only to put to him the two questions: Who put you up to it?
and Who was the man who did it?
He answered the first with remarkable emphasis.

As to the second question, I gather that the fellow with the bomb was his brother-in-law--quite a lad--a weak-minded creature.
