The Mystery of the Hasty Arrow

BOOK IV
10/170

Carleton Roberts drawing a bow to shoot an innocent schoolgirl is incredible.

In spite of all I have said and shown you, I do not believe him guilty of so inhuman an act.

He drew the bow, he shot the arrow, but----Here allow me to pause a moment to present another aspect of the case as surprising as any you have yet heard.

You are aware--we all are aware--that the inquest we await has been held back for the purpose of giving Mrs.Taylor an opportunity to recover from the illness into which she has been thrown by what she saw and suffered that day.

Gentlemen, this Mrs.Taylor whom we all--I will not even exclude myself from this category--regarded not only as a casual visitor to the museum, but a stranger to all concerned, is, on the contrary, as I think you will soon see, more closely allied to the seemingly dispassionate director than even Madame Duclos.
