Altogether it was well on in the small hours before he got to bed; and then it was in a mood of considerable depression that he retired, for his duty had compelled him to point out that his cousin, Chris Owen, cousin to himself and to the dead Ronnie Owen, had recently invested three several sums of £20,000 in a commercial concern, even though there did not appear the slightest reason for identifying those sums with the amounts paid by the insurance companies in the different cases under consideration. So, too, he had felt it necessary to mention that Norris had shown a somewhat odd early knowledge of Ronnie’s death that also seemed to have happened very conveniently for his hopes of marriage with the widow, though Bobby had been careful to add that all this seemed too vague to be regarded as ground for suspicion. It was with considerable relief that later on in his report he had been able to draw emphatic attention to the past history of Percy Lawrence and of his girl associate, Alice Yates.
