"I think I should," Mark said quietly; "at least, if he is the man that I suspect." "Then you do suspect someone?" Mrs. Cunningham said, laying down her work. "Yes, I know of no reason why you should not know it now. I suspect indeed, I feel morally certain that the man who murdered my father was Arthur Bastow."
We may as well go indoors now; Sir Charles may be here in a few minutes, and I want to hear Dr. Holloway's report as to Mr. Bastow." "He does not suspect, I hope, sir?" "No, thank God; my father never mentioned to him anything he heard about his son, or his suspicions, therefore he has no reason to believe that the fellow is not still in the convict prison at Sydney.
Wilson presently, asking her to come up the first thing tomorrow morning." "He can take it whenever, you like, Mrs. Cunningham. I have nothing to send down for, as far as I know. I suppose you have heard that the doctor thinks very badly of Mr. Bastow?" "Yes. Ramoo is sitting with him now." "Then I think, if you will write your note at once, Mrs. Cunningham, I will send one down to Dr.
I don't say if he had left a son, and that son had been a second Bastow, that one would have hesitated, for he would probably have gambled it away in a year, the tenants might have been ruined, and the village gone to the dogs. Every man has a right to disinherit an unworthy son, but that is a very different thing from disinheriting a daughter simply from a whim.
Bastow, as soon as he had given his evidence, had taken a hackney coach to the inn where he and the Squire had put up on their arrival in town the evening before, and here, on his return, John Thorndyke found him. He was lying on his bed in a state of prostration. "Cheer up, Bastow," he said, putting his hand upon the Rector's shoulder.
I thought that after I had finished with the Bastow affair I should set to work to find out this treasure, and that it would probably take me out to India, occupy me there for some time, and that afterwards I might travel through other places, and be away from England three or four years. Now the matter is altogether altered, and I shall be some time before I form any fresh plans.
I don't expect your son had anything to do with the robbery, though he was carrying a brace of pistols, too; however, we have got them all three. "Now, you see, Bastow, this takes the affair altogether out of our hands.
It points to a case of revenge, and certainly goes a very long way to support the theory that we talked over when I last saw you, that the highwayman who endeavored to stop you on the road, whom you wounded, and who afterwards went down to Southampton, was the escaped convict, Bastow.
"Yes, he will be greatly missed," Mark said unsteadily; "and, between ourselves but this must go no further I have a suspicion, amounting almost to a certainty, that the hand that dealt this blow is the same that caused the vacancy that brought you here." "Do you mean Arthur Bastow?" Mr. Greg said in amazement. "Why, I thought that he was transported for fifteen years."
"Have you any more witnesses to call?" the chairman asked the head constable. "Not at present, your honor. We have sent up to town, and on the next occasion the coachman will be called to testify to the shooting of the guard, and we hope to have some of the passengers there to identify the articles stolen from them." "It will be necessary that the Rev. Mr. Bastow should be here.
