In the meantime, I'll leave you to follow out the case in the manner you judge best.

We shall see who is right in the long run," and Denzil, still holding to his opinion, took his departure, leaving Link confident that the young man did not know what he was talking about.
As the detective sat thinking over the late conversation, and wondering if he could shape any definite course out of it, Denzil put his head in at the door.
"I say, Link," he called out, "you'd better find out if Mrs.Vrain is really the wife of this dead man before you are guided by her story!" After which speech he hurriedly withdrew, leaving Link to digest it at his leisure.
At first, Link was indignant that Denzil should deem him so easily hoodwinked as the speech implied.

Afterwards he began to laugh.
"Wife!" said he to himself.

"Of course she is the man's wife! She knows too much about him to be otherwise; but even granting that Denzil is right--which I don't for a moment admit--there is no need for me to prove the truth of his assumption.

If this pretty woman is not the true wife of Berwin, or Vrain, or whatever this dead man's name actually may be, the assurance company will get at the rights of the matter before paying over the money." Subsequent events reflected credit on this philosophical speech and determination of Mr.Link.Had Mrs.Vrain been an imposter, her house of cards would have been knocked down, as soon as reared, by the searching inquiry instituted by the Sirius Assurance Company.
