"He doesn't like being out in the rain," Fenn went on. "I'm going to put him under the wood-tent." This was a piece of canvas stretched between two trees and served to keep the camp wood, and some other effects, dry. Fenn put on his raincoat, slipped a pair of rubber boots on and went outside.
It was "up to" Kennedy, as they say in America, to start in and make something presentable and useful out of these unpromising materials. What annoyed him more than anything else was the knowledge that if only Fenn chose to do the square thing and help him in his work, the combination would be irresistible. It was impossible to make any leeway to speak of by himself.
Fenn has just been delivered out of prison; yet they ventured to brave the storm, and in this year, although the lions prowled before the porch, a number were added to the church. Thus was their little Jerusalem built 'even in troublous times.
Furthermore and I say this without wishing to impugn in any way the care with which I am sure our secretary has transcribed these letters at a time like this I am forced to remember that I have seen nothing but copies." Fenn was on his feet in a moment, white with passion. "Do you mean to insinuate that I have altered or forged the letters?" he shouted.
"I don't fear that," Fenn asserted, "not if we behave like sensible men. My proposal is that we anticipate, that one of us sees the Prime Minister to-morrow morning and lays the whole position before him." "Without the terms," Furley observed. "I know exactly what they will be," Fenn pointed out. "The trouble, of course, is that the missing packet contains the signature of the three guarantors.
At the beginning of the second act the great Higgs was not on the stage, Fenn's brother knowing enough of the game not to bring on his big man too soon. He had not to enter for ten minutes or so. The author, who had gone down to see him during the interval, stayed in the dressing-room. Fenn, however, who wanted to see all of the piece that he could, went up to the "flies" again.
Downstairs we went, and found Coroner Fenn and Inspector Mason in the hall. They had let Doctor Remson go home, also Garrison and Miss Gale. The waiters, too, had been sent off. "You people can go, if you like," Fenn said, to Mrs. Reeves and myself. "I'll take your addresses, and you can expect to be called on as witnesses. If we ever get anything to witness! I never saw such a case!
John Fenn. Thomas Cooper. Luke Astwood. John Croker. The late Mr. Kilpin of Bedford considered the whole of this letter to be entered in the minutes in Bunyan's hand-writing.
Fenn half thought of making a violent assault on the door. He refrained on reflecting that it would be useless. If he could break it open which, in all probability, he could not there would be trouble such as he had never come across in his life. He was not sure it would not be an offence for which he would be rendered liable to fine or imprisonment.
Catherine's face fell. "I haven't the least idea," she confessed. "Don't you know?" The Bishop shook his head. "They were going to send some one with me tomorrow," he replied, "but in any case Fenn knows. We can get at him." She made a little wry face. "I do not like Mr. Fenn," she said slowly. "I have disagreed with him. But that does not matter. Perhaps we had better go to the Council rooms.
