New Stories of Murder Mystery (Classic Reprint) Excerpt from The Black Cap: New Stories of Murder Mystery Smith is a little old bachelor, and sits there beaming on his guests like an elderly cupid. So they think him, but they are to be undeceived. Though many of them have not met until this week, they have at present that genial regard for each other which steals so becomingly over really nice people who have eaten too much. Dolphin, the butler, is passing round the fruit. The only other attendant is a maid in the background, as for an emergency, and she is as interested in the conversation as he is indifferent to it. If one of the guests were to destroy himself, Dolphin would merely sign to her to remove the debris while he continued to serve the fruit. In the midst of hilarity over some quip that we are just too late to catch, the youthful Lady Jane counts the company and is appalled. Lady Jane: We are thirteen Lady Wrathie. (Many fingers count.) Lady Wrathie: Fourteen. Capt. Jennings: Twelve. Lady Jane: We are thirteen Host: Oh, dear how careless of me. Is there anything I can do? Sir Joseph (of the city): Leave this to me. All keep your seats. Mrs. Preen (perhaps rather thankfully): I am afraid Lady Jane has risen. (Lady Jane subsides.) Lady Wrathie: Joseph, you have risen yourself. (Sir Joseph subsides.) Mrs. Castro (a mysterious widow from Buenos Ayres): Were we thirteen all those nights? Mrs. Preen: We always had a guest or two from outside, you remember.
