Pimm n i n ; -- , ' 1 While they were at lunch, a little later, Dean Hare telephoned to say that Inspector Irons had decided to postone his interrogations, so for the afternoon they were free. Mary was to see Neil Ray when he went off duty; and as they finished lunch, Linda came to propose that Phil go for a drive with her. "I have to go out to those mills in Norwood to get some homespun," she explained, "and I hate to go alone." Phil looked to his mother for consent. "Go along," she said. "Barbara and grandmother will be here." So Phil went, and found a measure of peace and forgetfulness in being thus with Linda. But when she brought him home, in late afternoon, he was reluctant to face them all; instead of going directly indoors, he walked around the house. He heard voices by the muddy stream beyond the pergola and went to look down over the bank. Policemen were there in boats with things like hinged rakes, dragging up debris from the bottom of the stream. One of them saw him and spoke quietly to the others, and they all looked up, silently. Phil went back toward the house, trembling. He found his mother alone. "Mary's dining with Neil," she explained, "and I sent Barbara in to stay overnight with grandmother. Professor Brace called, drove them in." She smiled reassuringly. "So we'll have dinne together, you and I. "Professor Brace?" he echoed. He remembered warily that the District Attorney had questioned Professor Brace, but he did not say so. "Funny for him to hang around." "I suppose he's naturally interested. The scientific mind, you know." Her tone was edged. "We're under his microscope, like insects." "He introduced himself to the reporters," Phil recalled. "Almost as if he wanted publicity." "I see you don't like' him either." "Oh I like him all right." Dinner was served and they went in; and since they might here be overheard they spoke of other things. Phil talked at random, steadily, fighting down his thoughts: that his father had taken his gun, that his father had tried to burn money in the furnace, that his father was a murderer! He must not let his mother guess his dreadful certainty. And she, as intent to hide her thoughts from Phil as he was to conceal his from her, helped him keep talk alive; but when they left the table and went into the living-rooand were alone, silence crushed them; and Phil noisily lighted a fire, and Mrs. Sentry telephoned old Mrs. Sentry's apartment to say good night to Barbara. She reported to Phil, when she left the phone, that Professor Brace had stayed to dinner with them. "I suppose he's taking notes," she reflected. "Like that German tutor at the foot of the table In 'War and Peace. Remember? There's just a (paragraph about him, but he's perfectly clear cut, a complete character In your mind afterward." Phil did not remember. "But kpeaking of Russians," he suggested, "how about some Russian TJank?" So they played till Mrs. iScntry said at last that they might as well go to bed. The house seemed very big and empty when they went ;pstairs, and parted for the night. Later, Mrs. Sentry, still awake, t heard Mary come in; but the girl did not come upstairs, so her mother went down, a dressing-gowover her night garments.
