He took this picture out of the case , dropped it upon the polished oaken floor beyond the margin of the carpet , and ground the glass into atoms with the heavy heel of his boot . But even then he was not content with his work of destruction , for he stamped upon the tiny fragments until there was nothing left of the picture but a handful of sparkling dust . He scattered this about with his foot , dropped the empty morocco case into his pocket , and went up-stairs in the morning sunlight . It was past six o'clock , and Mr. Dunbar heard the voices of the women-servants upon the back staircase as he went to his room . He threw himself , dressed as he was , upon the bed , and fell into a heavy slumber . At three o'clock the same day Mr. Dunbar left London for Maudesley Abbey , accompanied by his daughter , Dora Macmahon , and Arthur Lovell . No further discovery was made respecting the murder that had been committed in the grove between Winchester and St. Cross .
