"I can't believe it of myself." "When Miss Armytage intervened to afford Tremayne an alibi, I believed her, in view of what Grant had told me; I concluded that hers was the window from which Tremayne had climbed down.

Because of what I knew I was there to see that the case did not go to extremes against Tremayne.
If necessary Grant must have given full evidence of all he knew, and there and then left you to your fate.

Miss Armytage saved us from that, and left me convinced, but still not understanding your own attitude.
And now comes Richard Butler to surrender to me and cast himself upon my mercy with another tale which completely gives the lie to Miss Armytage's, but confirms your own." "Richard Butler!" cried O'Moy.

"He has surrendered to you ?" "Half-an-hour ago." Sir Terence turned aside with a weary shrug.

A little laugh that was more a sob broke from him.
