Сильвия с вызовом посмотрела на Фрэнки. Фрэнки поразилась, какую власть приобрел доктор Николсон над Сильвией за такой короткий промежуток времени. Казалось, не осталось и следа от прежнего недоверия к нему. Фрэнки снова растерянно молчала, не зная, что ей делать дальше.
Фрэнки и Роджер услышали выстрел. Они переглянулись и кинулись к дому. Через дверь гостиной они быстро прошли в холл. Там стояла Сильвия, бледная как стена.
Роджер усадил Сильвию, которая была в полуобморочном состоянии, на низенькое канапе и кинулся в кабинет Генри, Фрэнки – за ним. Ворвавшись в кабинет, они увидели, что Генри лежал поперек письменного стола. На виске виднелась рана, револьвер валялся на полу.

Примерно час спустя Фрэнки позвонила Бобби и договорилась встретиться с ним. Бобби прибыл первым на место встречи, но Фрэнки не заставила себя ждать. Фрэнки рассказала Бобби, что Сильвия убеждала мужа пройти курс лечения, и он согласился, но потом, вероятно, мужество изменило ему. Он заперся в своем кабинете, написал прощальное письмо и застрелился.
Скорее всего, доктор Николсон выстрелил в Генри, оставил прощальное письмо, которое сам и написал, и, заперев дверь, скрылся, а через несколько минут появился, будто только что пришел. Ключ от кабинета был у него в кармане, но ему, как преступнику экстра-класса, ничего не стоило притвориться, будто бы он нашел ключ возле двери. Для него такой трюк просто детская забава.
Бобби и Фрэнки быстро доехали до Грэнджа. Фрэнки никогда не была там прежде. Громадные железные ворота и разросшийся кустарник произвели на нее гнетущее впечатление. Однако когда Фрэнки вошла в маленькую гостиную, со вкусом обставленную мебелью, обитой веселым ситцем, ее настроение сразу поднялось.
Commentaries
The Girls’ Friendly Society – видимо по аналогии с Quakers’ Friendly Society – зд. употреблено иронически – уж очень добродетельной и беспомощной она выглядит в его описании. На самом деле такой организации не существовало.
He felt the hell of a fine fellow – он чувствовал себя чертовски привлекательным парнем.
