The vicar of Altharnham has just told me he knows who murdered my uncle and aunt.
I look at him in horror and slowly the awful truth becomes clear.
Yes, Mary, I planned the wrecks.
Your uncle followed my orders, but they thought he was the leader.
He loved that.
No one knew about me.
But then you came and asked questions.
They had to die because of that.
The end was near in any case.
The fool got drunk on Christmas Eve.
Well, you saw what happened.
The whole country knew what he'd done.
With a rope round his neck, he'd have told them about me.
At least my uncle didn't lie.
He talked and dreamt about his crimes.
You, you hid yours behind the cross in the face of a priest.
But why are you telling me all this now?
I know you found the picture.
