looking at the moon so Valentin suspected O'Brien . Lady Margaret could tell

told Valentin that since O'Brien was asking her to marry him and she refused .
However , she would swear that he never did anything like that . She said that
O'Brien was innocent because he was in the garden with her and she told her father
that if he accused him , he was accusing his own daughter .

but she refused. She would swear that he never did anything like that. When her

her, too.

seen, everybody was much happier. Discuss.

Brayne had left without telling anyone and Ivan found the saber fifty miles away
from the house, they considered him the murderer and when Valentin returned the
saber to O’Brien, this meant that he was innocent of the crime. Everybody was
much happier because the cloud of suspicion had lifted off them all and gone to
Paris with a rich American that they hardly know.
35

the first victim?
- Dr . Simon discovered , when he examined the head again , that many of the cuts
on the dead body were made after the head was cut off .

Valentin that Brayne had left the house wearing his coat and hat . Ivan said that he
found the saber in the bushes just fifty yards up the road to Paris . Ivan also said
that they found American money in the dead man's pocket , so it must have been a
countryman of Brayne's .
2- Whose head was floating in the river?
- While Valentin and all the guests were speaking about the first dead body . The
little priest approached them saying that he had come to tell them the news . He
said that there has been another murder , it was the same kind of murder . He

along the road to Paris. It was Julius Brayne's head .

house.

room at Valentin's house, and he asked about O'Brien's sword.

Lady Margaret said that to her father when he suspected O’Brien of committing the
crime and asked about his saber because he was with her in the garden. He did not
36
do anything and if Lord Galloway was accusing him, so this meant that he was
accusing his daughter too.
4- " I suppose that he hated some fellow, so he lured him into the garden
and killed him with my sword.”
O’Brien said that when Dr.Simon was asking some questions about the crime. He
said that Brayane killed the man with his sword then ran off to Paris, throwing the
sword in the bush as he went.
5- " I have come to tell you the news.”

The little priest said that to Dr. Simon and O’Brien while they were discussing the
crime. He came to them to tell them that they discovered another crime in the same

Father Brown Answers Some Questions
1- Why did the murderer make cuts around the head and shoulders of the
victim after killing him ?
- The head and shoulders had been cut in a strange way after the neck had been
separated from the body to make all people believe that the head and the body
belonged together .
2- What did the murderer do with the saber after he had used it to kill the
victim?
- The murderer cut off his enemy's head and threw the saber as far as he could
across the wall . Then he threw the head over the wall as well . After that , he just
had to put another head on the body and all people imagined another man .
3- Who committed the murder ? Why ?
33
- Valentin committed the murder although Valentin was an honest man , but he
hated religion , and it drove him mad . He hated Brayne for helping religious
people . He had a last argument with Brayne , he showed him some tricks with the
saber and cut off his head
4- How did Valentin plan to murder Brayne?

Valentin was an honest man, but he hated religion, and it drove him mad. He hated
Brayane for helping religious people. Valentin took Becker’s head_ the man who
was executed that day_ home in his box. He had a last argument with Brayane,
then showed him some tricks with the saber and cut off his head. He threw the
sword as far as he could across the wall after making some cuts in the body and the
neck too so that nobody would notice that the body and Becker’s head which he
put beside the body did not match. He threw Brayne’s head over the wall as well.
So they all imagined that the dead body was another man and he was not Brayane.
5- How did Valentin meet his end ?

- When father Brown discovered that Valentin was the murderer . He decided to go
to the study to ask Valentin to confess . They went to the study where they saw
Valentin sitting at his desk . He didn't move when they came closer . Then father
Brown saw the box of tablets at his elbow . Valentin had killed himself and sat
dead in his chair .

1- " There is no doubt about it . I knew him quite well because he was
thinking of joining our church . "
- Father Brown said this to Valentin. They were in the drawing room at Valentin's
house.
He was talking about Brayne, (the dead body found in the garden of Valentin’s
house)
2- " Only this , at least we have found out who the first murdered was . "
- Ivan said this to Dr. Simon. Ivan said this when Dr.Simon asked him if there was
another news. Ivan thought that the first murdered man was a criminal called
Arnold Backer, who committed all sorts of small crimes in Germany.
3- " I think the best way for me to explain what I can see now is to answer
the questions that you asked O'Brien this morning . "
- Father Brown said this to Dr. Simon. Father Brown thought that the best way for
him to explain the mystery of the murder was to answer all the questions that Dr.
33
Simon had asked O'Brien that morning, because he discovered that Valentin had
killed Brayne.
4- " I suppose he was going to leave all his money to your church as well . "
Valentin, who hated all religions, said that to Father Brown when Father Brown
told them that the second head was Brayne’s so he could not be the murderer and
he knows him very well because Brayane was thinking of joining his church.
Valentin was so angry that it seemed he might attack the priest, but he recovered
himself and went to his study.
5- " You are mad; I will not listen to your silly answer any longer.”
Dr. Simon said that to Father Brown when Father Brown asked him to repeat his
questions about the murder again then he started to answer them one by one telling
them that no stranger entered the garden and Brayane did not leave it too. The
body belonged to Brayane and his head was thrown away as well as the sword
which was used to cut the head with. The head which was found beside the body
belonged to another man. That man was the one who was executed that day
2- " We have to go there anyway to ask him to confess . "

- Father Brown said this to Ivan. They had to go to Valentin's study to talk to
Valentin.
- When father Brown went to the study with the guests. They saw Valentin sitting
at his desk. He didn't move when they came closer. Then father Brown saw the box
of tablets at his elbow. Valentin had killed himself and sat dead in his chair.
