He didn't want to say too much, and yet he saw Ronnie looking at him.
Ronnie was suddenly alert.
It was at that moment Treadwell came into the room and looked round him hesitatingly.

"'Just gone out this minute through the window,' said Ronnie.

Treadwell closed the dining-room door carefully behind him.
"'Well?'
said Ronnie.
"'What's up?'
Mr. Wade, not having yet come down, sir, I took the liberty of sending Williams up to his room.
Yes.
Williams has just come running down, in a great state of agitation, sir.
Treadwell paused, a pause of preparation.
I'm afraid, sir, the poor young gentleman must have died in his sleep.
Jimmy and Ronnie stared at him.
"'Nonsense!'
cried Ronnie at last.
