I am doubly sure that Margaret Hugonin was beautiful, for the reason that I have never found a woman under forty five who shared my opinion. I AM DOUBLY SURE THAT MARGARET HUGONEN WAS BEAUTIFUL FOR THE REASON THAT I HAVE NEVER FOUND A WOMAN UNDER FORTY FIVE WHO SHARED MY OPINION
rita, Peggy, and Gretchen, and countless others--if among all these he cannot find a name that suits her to a T--why, then, the case is indeed desperate and he may permissibly fall back upon Madam or--if the cat jump propitiously, and at his own peril--on Darling or Sweetheart. The second proof that this name must be the best of all possible names is that Margaret Hugonin bore it. And so the murder is out. You may suspect what you choose. I warn you in advance that I have no part whatever in her story; and if my admiration for her given name appear somewhat excessive, I can only protest that in this dissentient world every one has a right to his own taste. I knew Margaret. I admired her. And if in some unguarded moment I may have carried my admiration to the point of indiscretion, her husband most assuredly knows all about it, by this, and he and I are still the best of friends. So you perceive that if I ever did so far forget myself it could scarcely have amounted to a hanging matter. ORIE META MAGGIE MARGUERITA PEGGY AND GRETCHEN AND COUNTLESS OTHERS IF AMONG ALL THESE HE CANNOT FIND A NAME THAT SUITS HER TO A T WHY THEN THE CASE IS INDEED DESPERATE AND HE MAY PERMISSIBLY FALL BACK UPON MADAM OR IF THE CAT JUMP PROPITIOUSLY AND AT HIS OWN PERIL ON DARLING OR SWEETHEART THE SECOND PROOF THAT THIS NAME MUST BE THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE NAMES IS THAT MARGARET HUGONIN BORE IT AND SO THE MURDER IS OUT YOU MAY SUSPECT WHAT YOU CHOOSE I WARN YOU IN ADVANCE THAT I HAVE NO PART WHATEVER IN HER STORY AND IF MY ADMIRATION FOR HER GIVEN NAME APPEARS SOMEWHAT EXCESSIVE I CAN ONLY PROTEST THAT IN THIS DISSENTIENT WORLD EVERY ONE HAS A RIGHT TO HIS OWN TASTE I KNEW MARGARET I ADMIRED HER AND IF IN SOME UNGUARDED MOMENT I MAY HAVE CARRIED MY ADMIRATION TO THE POINT OF INDISCRETION HER HUSBAND MOST ASSUREDLY KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT BY THIS AND HE AND I ARE STILL THE BEST OF FRIENDS SO YOU PERCEIVE THAT IF I EVER DID SO FAR FORGET MYSELF IT COULD SCARCELY HAVE AMOUNTED TO A HANGING MATTER
