There was an old manservant at Merripit House, whose name was Anthony. His connection with the Stapletons can be traced for several years, as far back as the schoolmastering days, so that he must have been aware that his master and mistress were really husband and wife.
Wiem, że pozostawał u niego w służbie conajmniej lat kilka, bo widziano go za czasów, gdy Stapleton był kierownikiem szkoły w Yorkshire. Ten człowiek musiał wiedzieć, że Beryl jest żoną, nie siostrą jego pana.
