If, as I believed, the "adventure" mentioned by Lady Clarinda was connected, in some way, with Mrs. Beauly's mysterious proceedings on the morning of the twenty-first of October, I was on the brink of the very discovery which it was the one interest of my life to make! I held the screen so as to hide my face; and I said, in the steadiest voice that I could command at the moment,
Beauly's absence from England was a shock for which I was quite unprepared. For a moment it unnerved me. "Shall we go into the other room?" asked Lady Clarinda. To go into the other room would be to drop the conversation. I was determined not to let that catastrophe happen. It was just possible that Mrs. Beauly's maid might have quitted her service, or might have been left behind in England.
Beauly's evidence was considered to have aided the impression which the mother's evidence had produced in the prisoner's favor. The next witnesses both ladies, and both school friends of Mrs. Eustace Macallan created a new feeling of interest in Court. They supplied the missing link in the evidence for the defense.
Beauly's door! Upon that he closes his own door, leaving the tiniest little chink to look through; puts out his light; and waits and watches at his tiny little chink, like a cat at a mouse-hole. The corridor is the only place he wants to see; and a lamp burns there all night. Twelve o'clock strikes; he hears the doors below bolted and locked, and nothing happens.
