Sure that he was about to confirm his suspicion, he read it again, gazed upon Beckley Court in the sultry light, and turned for Fallow field once more, devising to consult Mr. John Raikes on the subject. The letter had a smack of crabbed age hardly counterfeit. The savour of an old eccentric's sour generosity was there.
