I didn't understand it, but of course I went." "And what happened ?" she demanded.
He held his breath for a moment.
"I was to take a table just inside the restaurant," he explained, "and to tell him directly he entered.

I did exactly as I was told, but it was too late.

Rosario was stabbed as he was on the point of entering the restaurant, within a few yards of where I was sitting." She shivered a little, although her general expression was still unchanged.
"You mean that he was murdered ?" "He was killed upon the spot," Arnold declared.
"By whom ?" He shook his head.
"No one knows.

The man got away.

I bought an evening paper as I came along and I see they haven't arrested any one yet." "Was there a quarrel ?" she asked.
"Nothing of the sort," he replied.
