"You know everything," Judith Carr muttered. "Yes. I met Mr. Flint, and gave him the money, and he told me that it would do to go on with, but that it was not nearly enough. He had got into trouble with his employer, and needed quite another thousand pounds. And everything had gone wrong with him lately. I was foolish enough to tell him that Mr. Molyneux had a large sum of money hidden in the house, and that I knew where to find it. And Stephen persuaded me to get the rest for him. I did get another five hundred pounds, but I knew there was still more in the house, and I searched for it in vain. I was looking for it, Mr. Archenfield, when you surprised me in the library the other day. You will remember that?"
"Yes, I knew you were looking for it," Archenfield said "But you failed to find it, and I didn't. But we need not labour that point. When you got back home at night your employer was dead, and you were the one person in the world who could have explained the mystery. Why didn't you do so and save your mistress this torture."
