15/23 Yet she was found dead with a glass of chloroform arranged between her pillows, so that the fumes must kill her--and Jenny Prask was her maid. A motor-car took the news of Mrs.Croyle's death to London before it had occurred and took the news from Rackham Park. There was only one motor-car in the garage--Mrs.Croyle's--and Mrs.Croyle's chauffeur was engaged to Jenny Prask, Mrs.Croyle's maid. London then telephones to Rackham Park for corroboration of the news, and a woman's voice confirms it--an hour before it was true. There are only two women to choose from, Mrs.Croyle and Jenny Prask, her maid. |
