"Who has accused him ?" "Sir, I have said that I can't tell you.

I passed my word not to do it.
It was one that had cause to suspect him at the time.

And it was never told me--_never told me_--until John Massingbird was dead!" Robin's voice rose to a sound of wailing pain, and he raised his hands with a gesture of despair.
"Did your informant _know_ that it was John Massingbird ?" Lionel gravely asked.
"They had not got what is called positive proof, such as might avail in a Court of Justice; but they was morally certain," replied Robin; "and so am I.I am only waiting for one thing, sir, to tell it out to all the world." "And what's that ?" "The returning home of Luke Roy.

There's not much doubt that he knows all about it; I have my reasons for saying so, and I'd like to be quite sure before I tell out the tale.

Old Roy says Luke may be expected home by any ship as comes; he don't think he'll stop there, now John Massingbird's dead." "Then, Robin, listen to me," returned Lionel.
