It seemed as though the rush of disjointed words had taken all energy out of
Philip. He sat in the same chair, slumped over, hanging his head, looking as
nearly-dead as Marty Fitzroy. The conversation and conjecture seemed to wash
over him, leaving him unchanged, until...

> "So... did you poison Mr. Fitzroy, too?" Marjorie asked
> Philip from where she stood awkwardly by the other evidence.
> "Cause of Nola?" she said, not looking directly at Philip.

"I told you," he said, hoarsely, without raising his head. "I knew it was
his fault. Whatever had made Nola behave the way she did...I knew he was to
blame. And now I know what he did."

"Bastard," he added a moment later.


Oswald glanced at Michael, and the Warren - the officers present.

"Perhaps," he suggested, "Officer Powell should be detained - alone - until 
the police arrive.  One of the rooms in Fitzroy's flat."
