I also bought a revolver . On the Tuesday morning he announced the arrival of Robert at the breakfast-table . Robert was now alive -- we had six witnesses to prove it ; six witnesses who knew that he was coming that afternoon . Our private plan was that Robert should present himself at three o'clock , in readiness for the return of the golfing-party shortly afterwards . The maid would go to look for Mark , and having failed to find him , come back to the office to find me entertaining Robert in Mark 's absence . I would explain that Mark must have gone out somewhere , and would myself introduce the wastrel brother to the tea-table . Mark 's absence would not excite any comment , for it would be generally felt -- indeed Robert would suggest it -- that he had been afraid of meeting his brother .
