Dorian
said
nothing
,
but
rose
from
the
table
and
,
passing
into
the
next
room
,
sat
down
to
the
piano
and
let
his
fingers
stray
across
the
white
and
black
ivory
of
the
keys
.
After
the
coffee
had
been
brought
in
,
he
stopped
,
and
,
looking
over
at
Lord
Henry
,
said
,
"
Harry
,
did
it
ever
occur
to
you
that
Basil
was
murdered
?
"
Lord
Henry
yawned
.
"
Basil
was
very
popular
,
and
always
wore
a
Waterbury
watch
.
Why
should
he
have
been
murdered
?
He
was
not
clever
enough
to
have
enemies
.
Of
course
he
had
a
wonderful
genius
for
painting
.
But
a
man
can
paint
like
Velasquez
and
yet
be
as
dull
as
possible
.
Basil
was
really
rather
dull
.
He
only
interested
me
once
,
and
that
was
when
he
told
me
,
years
ago
,
that
he
had
a
wild
adoration
for
you
,
and
that
you
were
the
dominant
motive
of
his
art
.

"
I
was
very
fond
of
Basil
,
"
said
Dorian
,
with
a
note
of
sadness
in
his
voice
.
"
But
do
n't
people
say
that
he
was
murdered
?
"
"
Oh
,
some
of
the
papers
do
.
It
does
not
seem
to
me
to
be
at
all
probable
.
I
know
there
are
dreadful
places
in
Paris
,
but
Basil
was
not
the
sort
of
man
to
have
gone
to
them
.
He
had
no
curiosity
.
It
was
his
chief
defect
.
"
"
What
would
you
say
,
Harry
,
if
I
told
you
that
I
had
murdered
Basil
?
"
said
the
younger
man
.
He
watched
him
intently
after
he
had
spoken
.
"
I
would
say
,
my
dear
fellow
,
that
you
were
posing
for
a
character
that
does
n't
suit
you
.
All
crime
is
vulgar
,
just
as
all
vulgarity
is
crime
.
It
is
not
in
you
,
Dorian
,
to
commit
a
murder
.
I
am
sorry
if
I
hurt
your
vanity
by
saying
so
,
but
I
assure
you
it
is
true
.
Crime
belongs
exclusively
to
the
lower
orders
.
I
do
n't
blame
them
in
the
smallest
degree
.
I
should
fancy
that
crime
was
to
them
what
art
is
to
us
,
simply
a
method
of
procuring
extraordinary
sensations
.

"
A
method
of
procuring
sensations
?
Do
you
think
,
then
,
that
a
man
who
has
once
committed
a
murder
could
possibly
do
the
same
crime
again
?
Do
n't
tell
me
that
.
"
"
Oh
!
anything
becomes
a
pleasure
if
one
does
it
too
often
,
"
cried
Lord
Henry
,
laughing
.
"
That
is
one
of
the
most
important
secrets
of
life
.
I
should
fancy
,
however
,
that
murder
is
always
a
mistake
.
One
should
never
do
any
thing
that
one
can
not
talk
about
after
dinner
.
But
let
us
pass
from
poor
Basil
.
I
wish
I
could
believe
that
he
had
come
to
such
a
really
romantic
end
as
you
suggest
;
but
I
ca
n't
.
I
dare
say
he
fell
into
the
Seine
off
an
omnibus
,
and
that
the
conductor
hushed
up
the
scandal
.
Yes
:
I
should
fancy
that
was
his
end
.
I
see
him
lying
now
on
his
back
under
those
dull-green
waters
with
the
heavy
barges
floating
over
him
,
and
long
weeds
catching
in
his
hair
.
Do
you
know
,
I
do
n't
think
he
would
have
done
much
more
good
work
.
During
the
last
ten
years
his
painting
had
gone
off
very
much
.
