Charlie's only claim

    "Your brother's wife had suffered accident, she was no longer able to work at profession, she was penniless and alone. You sent for her. What more natural than that action? You helped her to position, that she might help you."

    Tarneverro shrugged. "You have a remarkable imagination, Mr. Chan."

    "No, no - you flatter me," Charlie cried. "It has just been proved I have not imagination enough. Only one claim I make for myself - when light at last begins to stream in, I do not close the shutters."
