`` What must a man feel like who has the blood of a fellow creature on his hands ? Depend upon it , his punishment has begun already , caught or not . '' `` That is true , '' said the dark man quietly . `` Such a good-looking man too , '' said Grandma , looking wistfully at the murderer 's picture . `` It does n't seem possible that he can have killed anybody . But the paper says there is n't a doubt . '' `` He is probably guilty , '' said the dark man , `` but nothing is known of his provocation . The affair may not have been so cold-blooded as the accounts state . Those newspaper fellows never err on the side of undercolouring . '' `` I really think , '' said Grandma slowly , `` that I would like to see a murderer -- just one . Whenever I say anything like that , Adelaide -- Adelaide is Samuel 's wife -- looks at me as if she thought there was something wrong about me . And perhaps there is , but I do , all the same . When I was a little girl , there was a man in our settlement who was suspected of poisoning his wife . She died very suddenly . I used to look at him with such interest . But it was n't satisfactory , because you could never be sure whether he was really guilty or not . I never could believe that he was , because he was such a nice man in some ways and so good and kind to children . I do n't believe a man who was bad enough to poison his wife could have any good in him . '' `` Perhaps not , '' agreed the dark man .
