Then Satherwaite told about Phil's Aunt Louise and the telegram; about his dismal dinner at the restaurant and the subsequent flight from the tomblike silence of the club; how he had decided,in desperation,to clean up his study,and how he had come across Doyle's notebook.He told it rather well; he had a reputation for that sort of thing,and to-night he did his best.He pictured himself to his audience on the verge of suicide from melancholia,and assured them that this fate had been averted only through his dislike of being found lifeless amid such untidy surroundings.
