A witness, however, would state that he noticed a man resembling Mark Ablett at the station at 3.53 p.m. that afternoon, and this man caught the 3.55 up train to town. There was a pond in the grounds of the Red House. He had dragged this, but without result.... Antony listened to him carelessly, thinking his own thoughts all the time.
Antony came down in a very good humour to breakfast next morning, and found that his host was before him. Cayley looked up from his letters and nodded. "Any word of Mr. Ablett of Mark?" said Antony, as he poured out his coffee. "No. The inspector wants to drag the lake this afternoon." "Oh! Is there a lake?"
If he, Mark Ablett, by his wonderful acting could make Ruth Norris look a fool in front of the others, could take her in, and then join in the laugh at her afterwards, he would indeed have had a worthy revenge! "It strikes you as childish, Mr. Gillingham? Ah, you never knew Mark Ablett. "'How, Cay, how? he said eagerly. "'Well, I haven't really thought it out, I protested. 'It was just an idea.
It was possible that if it were proved afterwards that Mark Ablett had shot his brother, it might also be proved that he was justified in so doing, and that when he ran away from his brother's corpse he had really nothing to fear at the hands of the Law.
"I thought he was in Australia, or somewhere." "Of course. So did I." He looked across at Rumbold. "Got any brothers, Major?" "No." "Well, take my advice, and don't have any." "Not likely to now," said the Major. Bill laughed. Miss Norris said politely: "But you haven't any brothers, Mr. Ablett?" "One," said Mark grimly. "If you're back in time you'll see him this afternoon.
Such was Landor's impossible way on occasion that he succeeded in getting himself exiled from Tuscany; but the Grand Duke was called in as pacificator, and, though the order of expulsion was not rescinded, it was not carried out. In 1835 Landor wrote some verses to his friend Ablett, who had lent him the money to buy the villa, professing himself wholly happy
Thinking it over afterwards he was fairly certain that he had heard the shot, but it had not made any impression on him at the time. He had come to the house from the Waldheim end and consequently had seen nothing of Robert Ablett, who had been a few minutes in front of him. From this point his evidence coincided with Cayley's.
Deceased was not well spoken of in the village from which he and his brother had come. Deceased and his brother had never been on good terms, and the fact that Mark Ablett had come into money had been a cause of great bitterness between them. It was shortly after this that Robert had left for Australia. He had made inquiries at Stanton station.
Perhaps it is as well that we have died out. Not that there was anything wrong with Sarah except her temper. And she had the Ablett nose you can't do much with that. I'm glad she left no children. "Good-bye, Mr. Gillingham. I'm sorry that your stay with us was not of a pleasanter nature, but you understand the difficulties in which I was placed. Don't let Bill think too badly of me.
"I want to see Mr. Mark Ablett," he growled. It sounded almost like a threat. Audrey recovered herself and smiled reassuringly at him. She had a smile for everybody. "Yes, sir. He is expecting you, if you will come this way." "Oh! So you know who I am, eh?" "Mr. Robert Ablett?" "Ay, that's right. So he's expecting me, eh? He'll be glad to see me, eh?"
