The Complete Father Brown Stories. G. K. Chesterton

I don't think it would," remarked Father Brown, as he picked up his hat. "I rather think I should tell her. Even the most murderous blunders don't poison life like sins; anyhow, I think you may both be the happier now. I've got to go back to the Deaf School."

      As he went out on to the gusty grass an acquaintance from Highgate stopped him and said:

      "The Coroner has arrived. The inquiry is just going to begin."

      "I've got to get back to the Deaf School," said Father Brown. "I'm sorry I can't stop for the inquiry."
