Ambler Appleyard raised his head, slowly twisted in his revolving chair, and looked quietly at his employer.
He was fierce, and said things which he could not make good. The Rev. Jonas Harzell and others spoke in defence of the Bible. On the last evening the hall in which the convention was held was densely crowded, and the audience was greatly excited. A Mr. Ambler spoke at great length, and seemed desirous to excite the people to violence against the assailants of the Bible.
The poor fellow is dead." "Dead! Yes, we know that. But we must find out who killed him." "Well," I said, "I think at present, Ambler, we've quite sufficient on our hands without attempting to solve any further problems. The poor man may have been in despair and have taken poison wilfully." "In despair!" echoed the old man. "No fear. Lanky was happy enough.
"What is your own opinion of the affair, sir?" the officer continued, ready to take his opinion before that of the sergeant of the Criminal Investigation Department attached to his station. "Well," said Ambler, "it looks like sudden death, doesn't it? Perhaps it's poison." "Suicide?" "Murder, very possibly," was Jevons' quiet response.
And then, as though the jury were compelled to act upon the inspector's suggestion, they returned a simple verdict. "That the deceased committed suicide by poisoning while of unsound mind." For fully a week I saw nothing of Ambler. Sir Bernard was unwell, and remained down at Hove; therefore I was compelled to attend to his practice.
Hours of hard work resulted in that conclusion, and with it we were compelled to be satisfied. In due course the inquest was held at Shadwell, and with Ambler I attended as a witness.
The inn we entered was close to a soap works, the odour from which was not conducive to a good appetite, but we obtained a room to ourselves and ate our meal of cold beef almost in silence. "I was up early this morning," Ambler observed at last. "I was at Kew at eight o'clock." "Why?" "In the night an idea struck me, and when such ideas occur I always seek to put them promptly into action."
As for Delkin, that's a straight story, too anyway, there's a Chicago millionaire of that name been in town some weeks he's stopping at the Hotel Cecil has a palatial suite there and his daughter's about to marry Lord Hexwater. All correct there, Mr. Allerdyke, too I mean as regards all that Fullaway told you." "Well, there's something in knowing all that, Ambler, my lad," answered Allerdyke.
The Ambler awaited the end of that brief caress, then with a snort threw up his head, and with his wild, soft eyes seemed saying, 'You fools! what do you know of me? George stepped to one side. "Take him away," he said, and his eyes followed the Ambler's receding form. A racing-man of a different race, whom he knew and did not like, came up to him as he left the paddock.
Richard Ambler, of Yorktown, who had ridden from that place to Williamsburgh the afternoon before, and had that morning used the planter's pace to Jamestown, his industry being due to the fact that he was courting the May Queen's elder sister. Following him came five Lees in a chariot, then a delegation of Burwells, then two Digges in a chaise.
