Miss Lavinia took the telegram from the floor, and read these lines: "Lady Winwood, Hertford Street, London. To Natalie Graybrooke, Church Meadows, Baxdale, Somersetshire. Dreadful news. R. T. has discovered your marriage to Launce. Instant flight with your husband is your only chance. I would have communicated with Launce, but I do not know his address.
The place was all astir when he reached it. An old man a stranger in Baxdale had been found lying in the road, close to the church, in a fit; and the person who had discovered him had been no other than Launce himself. He had, literally, stumbled over the body of Thomas Wildfang in the dark, on his way back to his lodgings in the village.
Upon the whole, the inhabitants of the little Somersetshire village of Baxdale agreed that it was as fine a Christmas-eve as they could remember for some years past. Toward eight in the evening the one small street of the village was empty, except at that part of it which was occupied by the public-house.
