“Undoubtlessly,” de Grandin murmured from his place on the rear seat “What did you do then, young Monsieur?”

“Snatched a roll of gauze from the medicine cabinet and staunched the wound as well as I could, then called Dockery the gardener to hold it in place while I raced round to see you. I remembered seeing your sign sometime before.”

We drew up to the Evans house as he concluded his recital, and rushed through the door and up the stairs together. “In there,” our companion directed, pointing to a door from which there gushed a stream of light into the darkened hall.

A man in bathrobe and slippers knelt above a recumbent form stretched full-length on the white tiles of the bathroom. One glance at the supine figure and both de Grandin and I turned away, I with a deprecating shake of my head, the Frenchman with a fatalistic shrug.

“He has no need of us, that poor one,” he informed the young man. “Ten minutes ago, perhaps yes; now”—another shrug—“the undertaker and the clergyman, perhaps the police—”

“The police? Surely, Doctor, this is suicide—”

“Do you say so?” de Grandin interrupted sharply. “Trowbridge, my friend, consider this, if you please.” Deftly he raised the dead man’s thin white beard and pointed to the deeply incised slash across the throat “Does that mean nothing?”

“Why—er—”

“Perfectly. Wipe your pince-nez before you look a second time, and tell me that you see the cut runs diagonally from right to left.”

“Why, so it does, but—”

“But Monsieur the deceased was right-handed—look how the razor lies beneath his right hand. Now, if you will raise your hand to your own throat and draw the index finger across it as if it were a knife, you will note the course is slightly out of horizontal—somewhat diagonal—slanting downward from left to right. It is not so?” I nodded as I completed the gesture.
