Barthorpe, who had followed these proceedings with almost irrepressible eagerness, thrust forward a shaking hand. But Mr. Tertius quietly handed the sealed envelope to Peggie. "This envelope," he remarked, "is addressed to Miss Wynne." Barthorpe made an effort and controlled himself. "Open it!" he said hoarsely. "Open it!"
It had once amused Barthorpe and many other people to see Jacob Herapath and his secretary together; nevertheless, Jacob had always spoken of Burchill as being thoroughly capable, painstaking, thorough and diligent. His airs and graces Jacob put down as a young man's affectations yet there came the time when they suited Jacob no longer.

"Barthorpe Herapath turned into the carriageway and went into the office," continued Burchill. "Now, as I've already said, I knew Jacob Herapath's methods; I hadn't served him for nothing. He was the sort of man who makes no distinction between day and night it was quite a common thing for him to fix up business appointments with people at midnight.

Therefore, information about Braden, leading to knowledge of his association or connection with Ransford, might be found at Barthorpe.
"My dear sir," he began, bending confidentially towards Barthorpe, who had taken a seat at his desk and was waiting for his visitor to speak, "you have entered a caveat against the will in the Probate Registry." "I have," answered Barthorpe, with candid alacrity. "Of course!" "You intend to contest the matter?" inquired Mr. Halfpenny. "Certainly!" replied Barthorpe. Mr.
