"No, I'm not going to talk about it yet. We can wait and see what the Inspector finds. He may find something-I don't know what-something that Cayley has put there for him to find. But if he doesn't, then it will be because Cayley is going to hide something there to-night."
"What?" asked Bill again.
"You will see what, Bill," said Antony; "because we shall be there."
"Are we going to watch him?"
"Yes, if the Inspector finds nothing."
"That's good," said Bill.
If it were a question of Cayley or the Law, he was quite decided as to which side he was taking.
Previous to the tragedy of yesterday he had got on well enough with both of the cousins, without being in the least intimate with either.
Indeed, of the two he preferred, perhaps, the silent, solid Cayley to the more volatile Mark.
Cayley's qualities, as they appeared to Bill, may have been chiefly negative; but even if this merit lay in the fact that he never exposed whatever weaknesses he may have had, this is an excellent quality in a fellow-guest (or, if you like, fellow-host) in a house where one is continually visiting.
