[The Paradise Mystery by J. S. Fletcher]@TWC D-Link bookThe Paradise Mystery CHAPTER X 3/20
It ought to be enough--proved--to put Ransford in a criminal dock.
Bryce resolved it in his own mind over and over again as he sped home to Wrychester--he pictured the police listening greedily to all that he could tell them if he liked.
There was only one factor in the whole sum of the affair which seemed against him--the advertisement in the Times.
If Brake desired to find Ransford in order to be revenged on him, why did he insert that advertisement, as if he were longing to meet a cherished friend again? But Bryce gaily surmounted that obstacle--full of shifts and subtleties himself, he was ever ready to credit others with trading in them, and he put the advertisement down as a clever ruse to attract, not Ransford, but some person who could give information about Ransford.
Whatever its exact meaning might have been, its existence made no difference to Bryce's firm opinion that it was Mark Ransford who flung John Brake down St.Wrytha's Stair and killed him.
