章节摘录

版权页:   插图:   After meeting accidentally out of working hours,they begin to see each other regularly; they are soon infatuated.Clyde insists that their relationship be kept secret.When one of Roberta's friends,Grace Marr,becomes suspicious,Roberta moves out of her boarding-house and takes a single room on her own.Clyde takes advantage of this to try to seduce her and,after a quarrel,she yields. Clyde becomes acquainted with Sondra Finchley,a beautiful young socialite.He is overioyed at mixing in exclusive circles and tries to combine this with his clandestine romance with Roberta.But his interest in the working-class girl wanes and he begins to neglect her in favour of Sondra.Just as he is about to make a complete break with Roberta,she discovers that she is pregnant.When Clyde's attempts to arrange an abortion fail,Roberta demands that he marry her.But he is too deeply in love with Sondra to consent readily. A newspaper account of a boating accident gives Clyde the idea of murdering Roberta;he yields to temptation and sets about plotting her death.He pretends to agree to marriage and,when she returns from a visit to her parents,takes her to the nearby lakes for a holiday.After registering at a hotel under an assumed name he takes Roberta on the lake,planning to drown her and leave his own hat on the water in the hope that people will think he has also drowned.When the moment for the murder actually arrives,Clyde revolts from the idea; but he does strike her accidentally,toppling her into the water and capsizing the boat.Roberta cannot swim and Clyde leaves her to drown. The next day Roberta's body is discovered by the local coroner,Fred Heit,and his assistant,Earl Newcomb.Their suspicion of foul play grows when they fail to discover a second body.Orville W.Mason,the district attorney,takes over the case and contacts Roberta's parents.Mrs.Alden gives Clyde's name to Mason,for the girl had talked about her love affair wth her mother.
