Later, Lord Arthurasked Mr. Podgers to be told all the truth , all the horrible truth. Mr. Podgers accepted for some money.
Chapter 2
Lord Arthur was told that he would comit a murder. He was horrified and walked all night without knowing what to do, he heard blows and curses. He went home in the morning.
Chapter 3
The next day, Lord Arthur had a diferent view of what was happened. He took what Mr. Podgerssaid as a duty to be able to marry Sybil. He thought that he couldn't marry Sybil until he had no pressure having to comit a murder; if not it was a betrayal. As soon as the murder was committed, the better it would be for both of them. So he made a list of his posible victims. He decided that it would be Lady Clementina , an old lady, his second cousin on his mother's side. He prepared her a pillfilled with poison. He gave it to her as an american pill against indigestion so it must be taken when he had an attack.
Lord Arthur told Sybil to postpone his marriage, and she felt very sad but he trusted him. He left for Venice.
Chapter 4
He spent 2 weeks in Venice with his brother and then his brother convinced him to go down the coast to Ravenna. He became anxious about Lady Clementinaand he took a train to Venice. He found a telegram that said that she had died; he felt good. He had to go back to London because she had left him his house and furniture , it wasn't a fortune but that touched Lord Arthur. Arthur planned his marriage for the 17Th of June.
He , Sybil , and the lawyer went to the house; the surprise was when Sybil found the box where there was the pill and it wasstill there. Arthur discovered that Lady Celementina had died a natural death.
Chapter 5
Mr Merton and Sybil's mother were really upset at the second postponement of the marriage and they did everything to end the relation, but they couldn't change her mind. Lord Arthur Savile thought that dynamite was the proper thing to try in his next attempt, he decided to blow up his uncle , the Dean ofChinchester who loved clocks. He decided to send him an explosive clock and for that asked for his friend Count Rouvaloff, a young Russian of revolutionary tendencies to find a place where he could get the clock. He went there and they gave him the clock without any charge and it was supposed to explode on Friday at noon but nothing happened at all. A few days later they received a letter from theDeanery , it was his cousin, who told about the clock , they thougth it was a toy , a present from someone which liked them very much.
Lord Arthur was in despair, he went out , he was sad, he had tried to do his duty but Fate wasn't kind to him. We sat by the river and then saw Mr. Podegs, and he had an idea, he drowned him in the river.
The following days he was afraid of failure, he saw Mr.Podgers everywhere, finally came the news that talked about a suicide, Mr. Podger's suicide. Then he felt relieved , he was happy then he could marry Sybil.
Chapter 6
