Mrs.Jiro visibly swelled with agitation.

Brett felt that she was too full, and would overflow with tears in an instant.
"This is vely bad!" gasped Jiro.
"Oh, Nummie dear, have we been doing wrong ?" moaned his spouse.
The barrister determined to frighten them thoroughly.
"It is a grave question with the authorities whether they should not arrest you instantly," he said.
"On what charge ?" cried Jiro.
"On a charge of complicity after the act in relation to the murder of Sir Alan Hume-Frazer.

Your accomplice, Ooma, is the murderer." "What!" shrieked Mrs.Jiro, flouncing on to her knees and breaking forth into piteous sobs.
