'Think once more, Lady Brackenstall. Would it not be better to be frank?' For an instant there was hesitation in her beautiful face. Then some new strong thought caused it to set like a mask. 'I have told you all I know.' THINK ONCE MORE LADY BRACKENSTAL WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER TO BE FRANK FOR AN INSTANT THERE WAS HESITATION IN HER BEAUTIFUL FACE THEN SOME NEW STRONG THOUGHT CAUSED IT TO SET LIKE A MASK I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL I KNOW
 The maid had entered with us, and began once more to foment the bruise upon her mistress's brow. 'I hope,' said the lady, 'that you have not come to cross-examine me again?' 'No,' Holmes answered, in his gentlest voice. 'I will not cause you any unnecessary trouble, Lady Brackenstall, and my whole desire is to make things easy for you, for I am convinced that you are a much-tried woman. If you will treat me as a friend and trust me, you may find that I will justify your trust.' 'What do you want me to do?' 'To tell me the truth.' 'Mr. Holmes!' 'No, no, Lady Brackenstall--it is no use. You may have heard of any little reputation which I possess. I will stake it all on the fact that your story is an absolute fabrication.' Mistress and maid were both staring at Holmes with pale faces and frightened eyes. 'You are an impudent fellow!' cried Theresa. 'Do you mean to say that my mistress has told a lie?' Holmes rose from his chair. 'Have you nothing to tell me?' 'I have told you everything.
