But it is my opinion," said the spinster, with a significant look, "that he went to London to see about a divorce.
But he was weak in the head, poor man, and I suppose let things go on.
When next I heard of him he was a corpse in Geneva Square." "But did my father tell his wife that he was in Geneva Square ?" "Dearest Di, I can't say; but I don't believe he had anything to do with her after he left the house." "Then if she did not know his whereabouts, how could she kill him ?" asked Denzil pertinently.
Brought to a point which she could not evade, Bella declined to answer this question, but tossed her head and bit her lip, with a fine colour.
All her accusations of Mrs.Vrain had been made generally, and, as Lucian noted, were unsupported by fact.

From a legal point of view this spiteful gossip of a jealous woman was worth nothing, but in a broad sense it was certainly useful in showing the discord which had existed between Vrain and his wife.

Lucian saw that little good was to be gained from this prejudiced witness, so thanking Miss Tyler courteously for her information, he arose to go.
"Wait for a moment, Mr.Denzil," said Diana hurriedly.

"I want to ask you something.

Bella, would you mind----" "Leaving the room?
Oh, dear, no!" burst out Miss Tyler, annoyed at being excluded.
