I would try to learn how she had committed this act, whether by poison or-- It must have been by poison; no other means would suggest themselves to one of her refined sense; but if so, why those marks on her neck, growing darker and darker as I stared at them! My senses reeled as I scrutinised those marks.

Small, delicate but deadly, they stared upon me from either side of her white neck till nature could endure no more and I tottered back against the further wall, beholding no longer room, nor lounge, nor recumbent body, but a young girl's exquisite face, set in lines which belied her seventeen years, and made futile any attempt on my part at self-deception when my reason inexorably demanded an explanation of this death.

As suicide it was comprehensible, as murder, not, unless-- And it had been murder! I sank to the floor as I fully realised this.
III "OPEN!" PRINCE .-- Bring forth the parties of suspicion.
FRIAR .-- I am the greatest, as the time and place Doth make against me, of this direful murder; And here I stand, both to impeach and purge.

Myself condemned and myself excused.

I have mentioned poison as my first thought.
