I looked long at her before I replied.

"In one sense you may be right," I answered; "it is quite possible that

but for you Carleton would not have witnessed Randall's death. Still,

you must not be unfair to yourself--you are not accountable for the

sudden brain seizure which must have caused Randall to reel and fall

over the cliff."

"What do you mean?" she demanded.

"Carleton has just described the accident to Brabazon and me," I

answered. "He saw Randall sway and fall over the cliff. I believe his

story, although I fear few people will agree with me."

"I don't know the story," she said, faintly. "Pray tell it to me."
