"We are far from knowing as much as we desire to know," Mr. Palford replied. "We came here, in fact," added Grimby, "to ask questions of you, Miss Temple Barholm." "The fact that Miss Temple Barholm has not allowed herself to be prejudiced by village gossip, which is invariably largely unreliable, will make her an excellent witness," Mr.
"I am not sure," he remarked as he took the light Burrill held for him and touched the end of his cigar "I am not quite sure that I know exactly who Mr. Strangeways is." "He's the gentleman, sir, that Mr. Temple Barholm brought over from New York," replied Burrill with a stolidity clearly expressive of distaste. "Indeed, from New York! Why doesn't one see him?"
He did not want to exactly, but she frightened him more and more. "I should be ashamed," she proceeded. "I should feel as if I had taken an advantage. What you've got to do is to find out something no one else can find out for you, Mr. Temple Barholm." "How can I find it out without you? It was you who put me on to the wedding-cake; you can put me on to other things."
Temple Temple Barholm instead of just 'Tem' or 'T. T.! It's not natural." "What you must do, Mr. Temple Barholm, is to keep your head clear, that's all," she replied maturely. "Lord! if I'd got a head like yours!" She seemed to take him in, with a benign appreciativeness, in his entirety. "Well, you haven't," she admitted, though quite without disparagement, merely with slight reservation.
"Well," he remarked, "there's quite a lot of us can go back to Adam and Eve." When he was told that he was lord of the manor of Temple Barholm, he did not know what a manor was. "What's a manor, and what happens if you're lord of it?" he asked. He had not heard of William the Conqueror, and did not appear moved to admiration of him, though he owned that he seemed to have "put it over."
Temple Barholm and seventy thousand a year were not to be trifled with by a girl who had made herself unpopular and who was twenty-six. And for her own luck the moment had come just before it was too late a second marriage, wealth, the end of the hideous struggle. Joan was the obstacle in her path, and she must be forced out of it. She glanced quickly at Tembarom.
Palliser began to see, or thought he began to see, where he stood. He had come to Temple Barholm because he had been driven into a corner and had a dangerous fight before him. In anticipation of it he had been following a clue for some time, though at the outset it had been one of incredible slightness.
Such of his facts as rested upon the foundation of experience did not include multimillionaires and their resources. Captain Palliser passed lightly to Temple Barholm and its neighborhood. He knew places and names, and had been to Detchworth more than once. He had never visited Temple Barholm, and his interest suggested that he would like to walk through the gardens.
Whatsoever happened in days to come, Palford & Grimby had done their most trying and awkward duty by the latest Temple Barholm. Bradford, who was the steward of the estate, would now take him over, and could be trusted to furnish practical information of any ordinary order. It did not appear to Mr.
"Oh, no, sir," most falsely insisted Pearson. "Oh, yes, you would," protested Tembarom, cheerfully. "You'd have said I talked through my nose, and I should have laughed at you for dropping your h's. Now you're rattled because I'm Mr. Temple Temple Barholm; but you're not half as rattled as I am." "You'll get over it, sir, almost immediately," Pearson assured him, hopefully.
