〃You have e into a lot of money; Monsieur。〃
〃What the devil has that got to do with you?〃
The te drew himself up。
〃Monsieur; my name is tarnished! I am suspected … accused … of foul crime。〃
〃The accusation does not e from me;〃 said Derek coldly; 〃as an interested party I have not expressed any opinion。〃
〃I am innocent;〃 said the te; 〃I swear before heaven …〃 he raised his hand to heaven … 〃that I am innocent。〃
〃M。 Carrege is; I believe; the Juge d'Instruction in charge of the case;〃 hinted Derek politely。
The te took no notice。
〃Not only am I unjustly suspected of a crime that I did not mit; but I am also in serious need of money。〃
He coughed softly and suggestively。
Derek rose to his feet。
〃I was waiting for that;〃 he said softly; 〃you blackmailing brute! I will not give you a penny。 My wife is dead; and no scandal that you can make can touch her now。 She wrote you foolish letters; I dare say。 If I were to buy them from you for a round sum at this minute; I am pretty certain that you would manage to keep one or two back; and I will tell you this; M。 de la Roche; blackmailing is an ugly word both in England and in France。 That is my answer to you。 Good afternoon。〃
〃One moment …〃 the te stretched out a hand as Derek was turning to leave the room。 〃You are mistaken; Monsieur。 You are pletely mistaken。 I am; I hope; a 'gentleman。'〃
Derek laughed。
〃Any letters that a lady might write to me I should hold sacred。〃 He flung back his head with a beautiful air of nobility。 〃The proposition that I was putting before you was of quite a different nature。 I am; as I said; extremely short of money; and my conscience might impel me to go to the police with certain information。〃
