Such a letter would be further evidence that Vin- cent Blake had nct made a secret visit to his aunt’s abode, though it would not dispose of the possible theory of a plot between himself and one or both of his sisters. Nor would it dispose of the suggestion that he might have seen his aunt and quarreled with her. Marjorie did not want to tell the! superintendent of Vincent's letter, but told Jimmie that he might, al- though Vincent had told her that Richmond would ask why it had not been told before. Jimmie sug-| gested that Vincent tell him. “I don't think it matters much cither way,” Haswell commented.
