has been in this incident�察─�he said�察 �a twisted�察�ugly�察�complex quality that does not belong to the straight bolts either of heaven or hell。 As one knows the crooked track of a snail�察�I know the crooked track of a man。; The white lightning opened its enormous eye in one wink�察�the sky shut up again�察�and the priest went on�此 �Of all these crooked things�察�the crookedest was the shape of that piece of paper。 It was crookeder than the dagger that killed him。; ;You mean the paper on which Quinton confessed his suicide�察─�said Flambeau。 ;I mean the paper on which Quinton wrote�察 �I die by my own hand��'; answered Father Brown。 ;The shape of that paper�察�my friend�察�was the wrong shape�察�the wrong shape�察�if ever I have seen it in this wicked world。; ;It only had a corner snipped off�察─�said Flambeau�察 �and I understand that all Quinton's paper was cut that way。; ;It was a very odd way�察─�said the other�察 �and a very bad way�察�to my taste and fancy。 Look here�察�Flambeau�察�this QuintonGod receive his soul��was perhaps a bit of a cur in some ways�察�but he really was an artist�察�with the pencil as well as the pen。 His handwriting�察�though hard to read�察�was bold and beautiful。 I can't prove what I say�察�I can't prove anything。 But I tell you with the full force of conviction that he could never have cut that mean little piece off a sheet of paper。 If he had wanted to cut down paper for some purpose of fitting in�察�or binding up�察�or what not�察�he would have made quite a different slash with the scissors。 Do you remember the shape�拭 �It was a mean shape。 It was a wrong shape。 Like this。 Don't you remember�拭─ �And he waved his burning cigar before him in the darkness�察�making irregular squares so rapidly that Flambeau really seemed to see them as fiery hieroglyphics upon the darknesshieroglyphics such as his friend had spoken of�察�which are undecipherable�察�yet can have no good meaning。 ;But�察─�said Flambeau�察�as the priest put his cigar in his mouth again and leaned back�察�staring at the roof�察 �suppose somebody else did use the scissors。 Why should somebody else�察�cutting pieces off his sermon paper�察�make Quinton commit suicide�拭─ �Father Brown was still leaning back and staring at the roof�察�but he took his cigar out of his mouth and said�此 �Quinton never did commit suicide。; Flambeau stared at him。 ;Why�察�confound it all�察─�he cried�察 �then why did he confess to suicide�拭─ �The priest leant forward again�察�settled his elbows on his knees�察�looked at the ground�察�and said�察�in a low�察�distinct voice�此 �He never did confess to suicide。; Flambeau laid his cigar down。 ;You mean�察─�he said�察 �that the writing was forged�拭─ �No�察─�said Father Brown。 ;Quinton wrote it all right。; ;Well�察�there you are�察─�said the aggravated Flambeau�察 �Quinton wrote�察 �I die by my own hand��' with his own hand on a plain piece of paper。; ;Of the wrong shape�察─�said the priest calmly。 ;Oh�察�the shape be damned� ─�cried Flambeau。 ;What has the shape to do with it�拭─ �There were twenty´three snipped papers�察─�resumed Brown unmoved�察 �and only twenty´two pieces snipped off。 Therefore one of the pieces had been destroyed�察�probably that from the written paper。 Does that suggest anything to you�拭─ �A light dawned on Flambeau's face�察�and he said�此 �There was something else written by Quinton�察�some other words。 `They will tell you I die by my own hand��' or `Do not believe that'; ;Hotter�察�as the children say�察─�said his friend。 ;But the piece was hardly half an inch across�察�there was no room for one word�察�let alone five。 Can you think of anything hardly bigger than a comma which the man with hell in his heart had to tear away as a testimony against him�拭─ �I can think of nothing�察─�said Flambeau at last。 ;What about quotation marks�拭─�said the priest�察�and flung his cigar far into the darkness like a shooting star。 All words had left the other man's mouth�察�and Father Brown said�察�like one going back to fundamentals�此 �Leonard Quinton was a romancer�察�and was writing an Oriental romance about wizardry and hypnotism。 He; At this moment the door opened briskly behind them�察�and the doctor came out with his hat on。 He put a long envelope into the priest's hands。 ;That's the document you wanted�察─�he said�察 �and I must be getting home。 Good night。; ;Good night�察─�said Father Brown�察�as the doctor walked briskly to the gate。 He had left the front door open�察�so that a shaft of gaslight fell upon them。 In the light of this Brown opened the envelope and read the following words�此 �DEAR FATHER BROWN��Vicisti Galilee。 Otherwise�察�damn your eyes�察�which are very penetrating ones。 Can it be possible that there is something in all that stuff of yours after all�拭 �I am a man who has ever since boyhood believed in Nature and in all natural functions and instincts�察�whether men called them moral or immoral。 Long before I became a doctor�察�when I was a schoolboy keeping mice and spiders�察�I believed that to be a good animal is the best thing in the world。 But just now I am shaken�察 �I have believed in Nature�察�but it seems as if Nature could betray a man。 Can there be anything in your bosh�拭 �I am really getting morbid。 I loved Quinton's wife。 What was there wrong in that�拭 �Nature told me to�察�and it's love that makes the world go round。 I also thought quite sincerely that she would be happier with a clean animal like me than with that tormenting little lunatic。 What was there wrong in that�拭 �I was only facing facts�察�like a man of science。 She would have been happier。 According to my own creed I was quite free to kill Quinton�察 �which was the best thing for everybody�察�even himself。 But as a healthy animal I had no notion of killing myself。 I resolved�察 �therefore�察�that I would never do it until I saw a chance that would leave me scot free。 I saw that chance this morning。 I have been three times�察�all told�察�into Quinton's study today。 The first time I went in he would talk about nothing but the weird tale�察�called ;The Cure of a Saint�察─�which he was writing�察�which was all about how some Indian hermit made an English colonel kill himself by thinking about him。 He showed me the last sheets�察�and even read me the last paragraph�察�which was something like this�此 �The conqueror of the Punjab�察�a mere yellow skeleton�察�but still gigantic�察�managed to lift himself on his elbow and gasp in his nephew's ear�此 �I die by my own hand�察�yet I die murdered��'; It so happened by one chance out of a hundred�察�that those last words were written at the top of a new sheet of paper。 I left the room�察 �and went out into the garden intoxicated with a frightful opportunity。 We walked round the house�察�and two more things happened in my favour。 You suspected an Indian�察�and you found a dagger which the Indian might most probably use。 Taking the opportunity to stuff it in my pocket I went back to Quinton's study�察�locked the door�察 �and gave him his sleeping draught。 He was against answering Atkinson at all�察�but I urged him to call out and quiet the fellow�察 �because I wanted a clear proof that Quinton was alive when I left the room for the second time。 Quinton lay down in the conservatory�察 �and I came through the study。 I am a quick man with my hands�察�and in a minute and a half I had done what I wanted to do。 I had emptied all the first part of Quinton's romance into the fireplace�察 �where it burnt to ashes。 Then I saw that the quotation marks wouldn't do�察�so I snipped them off�察�and to make it seem likelier�察 �snipped the whole quire to match。 Then I came out with the knowledge that Quinton's confession of suicide lay on the front table�察�while Quinton lay alive but asleep in the conservatory beyond。 The last act was a desperate one�察�you can guess it�此�I pretended to have seen Quinton dead and rushed to his room。 I delayed you with the paper�察�and�察�being a quick man with my hands�察�killed Quinton while you were looking at his confession of suicide。 He was half´asleep�察�being drugged�察�and I put his own hand on the knife and drove it into his body。 The knife was of so queer a shape that no one but an operator could have calculated the angle that would reach his heart。 I wonder if you noticed this。 When I had done it�察�the extraordinary thing happened。 Nature deserted me。 I felt ill。 I felt just as if I had done something wrong。 I think my brain is breaking up�察�I feel some sort of desperate pleasure in thinking I have told the thing to somebody�察 �that I shall not have to be alone with it if I marry and have childr
